In the city of Ahmedabad in India, a secret gambling den was discovered.

Gambling is when people bet money on games, and it is against the law there.

A special police team called the State Monitoring Cell raided the place on August 2.

They found the den inside a building called the Manpasand Gymkhana Club.

The police arrested 187 people, including the people who ran the den.

They also found money and several vehicles.

The local police officers were blamed for not knowing what was happening.

Three of them were suspended, which means they were told to stop working for a while.

This was not the first time the club was raided, because police caught more than 180 people there back in 2021.
