Delhi Police arrested 29 people, including 7 women, for gambling at Hotel City West End in Delhi, an official said on Sunday.
They also recovered Rs5.85 million, and 10 sets of playing cards.
"Keeping in mind the instances of gambling on the occasion of Diwali, like every year, all the SHOs and operational teams were instructed to identify and take strict action on such activities," DCP Ghanshyam Bansal said.
"A source informed that large-scale gambling is a regular affair in Hotel City West End on Club Road Punjabi Bagh. The source was further asked by the police to watch the activities being carried out at the said hotel," the police officer said.
"On October 22, specific inputs were received that a large number of people were assembling at the hotel for indulging in gambling at the Banquet Hall on the first floor," he explained.
"When they saw the raiding party, everyone threw the cards and stood up. They all were apprehended," said the DCP.
The hotel's CCTV footage of the last few days is also being analysed.
The police registered an FIR under Sections 3 and 4 of the gambling act.
"On questioning, it was revealed that the hotel manager used to charge an entry fee of Rs2,500 for allowing their hotel premises for gambling activities and serving food and snacks," said the official.
Further legal action is being taken against the management and staff.
