However, the Akra Parchi dealer refused to handover the prize money and shred the token to pieces.
The lottery-winner Jabba told he got tired of trying his luck and finally won Rs 8,000. He has also demanded the police to get him his ‘deserved’ prize.
Meanwhile, News360 learned that Akra Parchi activities run under the supervision of the police in Sanghar.
The dealers have established gambling dens in shops across the city.
However, the police have turned a blind eye to it and illegal activities are being carried out under its nose.
The locals said that illegal gambling activities were also in full swing during the lockdown and the police took no action despite complaints.
In this regard, Assistant Commissioner (AC) Arshad Ibrahim Siddiqui said that taking action against gambling dens was not his domain.
