Police have raided a property suspected of hosting gamblers from across Haryana, India. As they rated the building, shots were fired. Some fled, others were arrested.
These kinds of parties are weekly occurrences in Mewat district. However, they are still illegal, leading to police attempting to break them up.
Pinangwan Station House Officer Rattan Lal explained that he and other officers pulled up at the building when they were noticed by several of the gamblers. A group pulled out their guns and fired at officers, with 12 managing to escape. Police were able to apprehend 11 persons along with about Rs 1 lakh ($1,350).
Each of the 11 was booked on charges of gambling, and violations under the Arms Act. They were also charged with attacking police.
