A silent operation is underway in Kozhikode district to crack the operation of single-digit lottery agents who have emerged as a threat to the Kerala government’s approved lottery sales.
Plainclothesmen are on duty in suspected areas where the agents are reportedly operating the illegal games, both the traditional and online ways.
According to police sources, the agents in the illegal business are reportedly targeting the financially backward youngsters from urban and rural areas offering quick gains. The success stories of the approved lottery winners in recent times have also come as bait for many agents to woo their young clients, they said.
