In a major crackdown on banned gambling in the city, the Hyderabad city police on Thursday night busted a high-profile gambling racket organised by a businessman Aravind Agarwal on Deepavali.
Acting on specific intelligence, the police raided a residential complex at Begumpet, and found several persons, including an MLA of the ruling TRS, indulging in playing cards against money, which is banned by the State government.
