Deepak Thakkar, accused of the cricket betting and Vasna share betting scam of more than Rs 2300 crore in Madhupur, is on four-day remand with the State Monitoring Cell. The police team went to the house in Thaltej where Deepak Thakkar's father lives for investigation. After locating and sealing two bank lockers, details of how much money was withdrawn from the bank have been sought.
Bookie Deepak Dhirajlal Thakkar, caught in the cricket betting scam, was taken to his flat in Indraprastha-8 in Thaltej by State Surveillance Cell officials. During the search at the apartment where Deepak's parents live, Rs 4.50 lakh cash was found and the police seized it. Bank accounts and lockers opened in the name of Deepak Thakkar and his wife in Kalupur Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank were also found.
Along with sealing the bank lockers, the bank accounts of both have also been frozen. The police have also sought details of how much money has been withdrawn from the two bank accounts in the name of Deepak Thakkar and his wife. According to the police, the keys of the bank locker have not been found yet. Both the bank lockers will be investigated as soon as the keys are found.
Deepak Thakkar and others are accused of renting people's bank accounts to embezzle billions of rupees from cricket and stock betting and the police are investigating it. However, the state surveillance cell has expanded the scope of the investigation to Deepak Thakkar, his wife's bank accounts, lockers and his parents' house. The mystery of what information is coming out from Deepak Thakkar about his embezzlement and renting accounts and embezzlement of billions of rupees still remains.
