The Delhi Police Crime Branch arrested seven members of a cheating syndicate, including five Indians and two Nigerian nationals, who had been operating a nationwide scam using fake lottery and gift schemes.
On the basis of the charge sheets filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation, the ED had initiated a money laundering probe against Martin and his company, Future Gaming Solutions (P) Limited (presently Future Gaming and Hotel Services (P) Limited and formerly Martin Lottery Agencies Limited).
Coincidentally, TMC Minister Anubrata Mondal had himself won ₹1 crore lottery in December 2021. CBI's probe into the matter revealed that he won ₹10 lakhs from another lottery in 2019 as well.
