Famous Online Gaming Scam Leader Sontu Jain Appears, Leaves Police with Unanswered Questions

In a big development, a person named Ananth, also known as Sontu Navratan Jain, who was behind a big online gaming scam, has come out of hiding in Dubai and was questioned by the police. However, during a long nine-hour questioning session, Sontu Jain cleverly avoided answering the police's questions about his illegal gaming network.

This happened after the Bombay High Court granted Sontu Jain temporary anticipatory bail on the condition that he had to visit the police station every other day, starting from Friday. On the scheduled day, he went to the Crime Branch at 10:45 am and was asked 56 questions by police officials, led by DCP Detection Mummaka Sudarshan.

During the tough questioning, Sontu Jain remained surprisingly calm and tried to divert attention away from himself. He refused to give any information about the people involved in his large-scale international gaming scam.

The police revealed that Sontu Jain had made a lot of money by cheating many people through his online gaming scam. The investigation began when a businessman from Nagpur reported that he had lost Rs 58 crore on Sontu's gaming platform, claiming that the results were rigged.

Interestingly, the businessman didn't provide information about the local people involved, such as a bookie in Ramdaspeth, hawala traders in Itwari and Gondia, and the developers of the gaming software used by Sontu.

The story of Sontu Jain and his criminal network started when the police raided his home in Gondia on July 22, seizing Rs 17 crore in cash, 14 kg of gold, and 294 kg of silver, worth a total of Rs 27 crore. Later, on August 2, they found an additional Rs 85 lakh in cash and gold valued at over Rs 4.50 crore in bank lockers belonging to Sontu and his family members.

As the investigation continues, authorities are determined to uncover the full scope of Sontu Jain's online gaming fraud and bring those responsible to justice. Sontu's ability to avoid answering crucial questions during his recent encounter with the police only adds more mystery to this ongoing and high-stakes investigation.
