The CID, Crime Branch, Odisha Cyber Crime Unit has successfully cracked a major cyber fraud case involving online gaming and betting scams, arresting two key accused responsible for duping victims out of enormous sums of money.


According to reports, the case was registered after a complaint was filed on May 1, 2025, by a victim from Kalinganagar, Jajpur, who had lost ₹1.08 crore through fraudulent online betting websites. The victim was lured into betting on fake platforms promising high returns, only to realise after two and a half years that he had fallen prey to an elaborate scam.

The investigation, led by Dy SP Anila Anand, revealed a well-organised scheme wherein fraudsters used platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and social media ads to trap users. They tricked victims into sharing UPI credentials and OTPs, transferring large sums to mule accounts controlled by the criminals.

With meticulous digital surveillance and technical analysis, the cybercrime unit identified and apprehended two suspects—Rohan alias Sk Wasiul Islam (29) from West Bengal and Jyoti Prakash Pallai (36) from Bhubaneswar. Numerous incriminating documents and electronic devices, including passbooks, cheque books, mobile phones, SIM cards, and banking credentials, have been seized from the accused.

Authorities have frozen several bank accounts linked to the scam and are actively investigating further accomplices and financial trails across multiple locations. Officials urge citizens to exercise caution against unsolicited betting links and fake gaming applications, advising them to report cyber frauds immediately via the national cybercrime helpline 1930 or through .

This successful operation highlights the increasing need for vigilance in digital transactions and serves as a stern warning against the dangers of online betting fraud.

In the viral video, Aneet Padda cutely told the paparazzi, “Mujhe sharam aa rahi hai.” In a recent interview with Zoom TV, director Mohit Suri reacted to this viral clip and explained, “The only thing I always told Aneet was to be honest, I said you are perfect as you are, and there is no right thing to say. When she had asked me if I wanted to tell them I was feeling shy? I said ‘say it’. We have become a generation that is supposed to have the answers. What’s wrong with being vulnerable? She went there, and when they were clicking, she said ‘mujhe sharam aa rahi hai’, and I think it was the most honest thing to be, rather than pretend to be what you are not.”
