Gambling den reported near Chandrapur's Arvat area; new police station chief faces pressure to act

A gambling den is reported to be operating in the Arvat area near Chandrapur city. It is said to run on Arvat Road, a short distance from the main road. According to local sources, people from different parts of the city go there and a large volume of business is done every day.

The information available is that transactions worth lakhs of rupees take place at the illegal den every day. The unlawful business has been running for a long time and is often talked about in the area. No action has been taken so far, which has caused resentment among residents and raised questions about the role of the police.

Information is also emerging that special arrangements have been made for gamblers who come there. The question being raised is whether the police are hesitant to act when all this is going on right under their nose.

The den falls within the jurisdiction of the Chandrapur city police. The charge of this police station was taken over recently by a new station house officer, who now faces the major challenge of shutting the Arvat den down. Whether the new officer will bring it down should become clear in the next few days.

Among the public there is also talk of why the crime investigation squad has not paid attention to the den for so many years. People are also asking whether the person running it has been given unwritten permission. These points have so far emerged only as talk among the public.

All eyes are now on whether the police will investigate the illegal den and take strict action. Local residents of Arvat sharply demand that the police raid the gambling den immediately and act firmly. People in the area want the matter to be dealt with as soon as possible, rather than put off, now that the new station house officer has taken charge.
