Teer gambling, though common in some areas, is banned when conducted without proper permits. Police are urging people to stay away from such activities and report any suspicious operations in their neighbourhood.
Earlier in December 2024, a police team led by Azara ACP and the OC of Fatasil Ambari Police Station conducted a planned raid in GMC Colony after receiving secret information about illegal Teer gambling. The raid led to the arrest of five people—Bikash Kr Sah, Nirupam Mazumdar, Madhab Acharya, and two others named Md. Kuddus Ali from different areas. The police seized six mobile phones, 70 bundles of blank Teer tickets, Rs 24,340 in cash, four cardboards, a diary, a notebook, a seal, and a black handbag. All these were used in the gambling activity. Legal action has been taken against them.
Now again, this raid has once again shown that the police are serious about putting an end to illegal activities in Guwahati. The people of Dhirenpara are now hopeful that more such actions will help bring peace and safety to the area. The arrested individuals will now face the law, and the investigation will reveal if more people are involved in this gambling network.
