Gujarat police have arrested four people in a counterfeit Indian Premier League (IPL) gambling racket in the state, staging matches for gamblers, who orchestrated them from Russia.
The fake cricket matches were played between farm workers in a small village in Mehsana posing as players. While a Harsha Bhogle mimic commented on the match, the umpire received instructions via a walkie-talkie from Russia.
Bets were placed on fake cricket matches that were shown online on YouTube.
According to the police, the entire gambling racket was operated from Russia, even when farm workers and unemployed youths played matches or pretended to play on the field.
The bets on the matches were placed from the Russian cities of Tver, Voronezh and Moscow through a Telegram channel, according to details shared by the local police in the Mehsana district.
Police have arrested Dawda Shoyeb Abdulmjeed, Sefi Mahamad Saqib Riyazuddin, Koli Mahamad Abubakar and Davda Sadiq Abudlmajeed, while the alleged mastermind has been identified as Asif Mohammad, who is apparently based in Russia.
According to details, the incident took place at a remote farm in Molipur in northern Gujarat’s Mehsana district, where the fake tournament was launched three weeks after the end of the IPL season in May.
Match was a puppet show
Police claimed the entire match was a sham to place bets placed from Russia.
To make it look like a real IPL-esque cricket tournament, the players not only installed a cricket pitch on a farmland next to a cemetery, but also boundary lines and halogen lamps.
For cricketers, 20 farm workers and unemployed local youths were hired for 400 per game, and they were dressed in jerseys from IPL teams to do a near-perfect job.
Although the cricket matches were played on the ground in the village in North Gujarat, every move was orchestrated from Russia from which Asif was said to signal or instruct the umpire, after which a wicket would fall to the ground or a sixer would be struck. The umpire received his instructions on his walkie-talkie set.
According to police inspector Bhavesh Rathod, the suspect had even set up high-resolution cameras on the field and used computer-generated images to display scores on a live streaming screen on YouTube. Even crowd noises were downloaded and played during the live streaming.
Police claimed the local mastermind is Shoeb Davda, who used to work in Russia and recently returned to his native country in northern Gujarat, while Asif orchestrated the racket from Russia and took bets from bookmakers.
