Crime Investigation Department (CID) ADGP Raj Kumar Pandian, Gandhinagar dismissed allegations that an alleged Chinese national visited the state and duped 1200 people of Rs 1,400 crore in a span of nine days and termed the allegation as false.“The allegations imposed by some of the politicians were false. As per our investigation, it was a loss of Rs 3.54 crore instead of what they have alleged of Rs 14,000 crore. The number of victims was around 1,175 who incurred an average loss of Rs 22,000-30,000. Against that, we've already frozen over Rs 16 crore. Another allegation that Gujarat Police is also involved is false. Gujarat Police was not involved. They didn't promote or advertise any such app. These are baseless allegations without any evidence. The third allegation that an alleged Chinese person visited Gujarat is also false...After registering this crime, we've detained ten accused, so far. Further investigation is underway,” said ADGP CID Crime Rajkumar Pandian on the football betting app scam.
