HYDERABAD: Senior IPS officer and TSRTC Managing Director, VC Sajjanar, has issued a caution regarding deceptive online betting promotions circulating on social media platforms. He highlighted videos where influencers demonstrate purchasing items effortlessly by engaging in betting activities at shops, suggesting that winnings can be used to make purchases.
Sajjanar criticised these tactics, questioning, “Is there anything more reprehensible than promoting the idea of easily buying items through betting?” He expressed concern that while online betting continues to claim numerous lives, certain social media influencers, driven by personal gain, are irresponsibly endorsing such practices. He condemned the attitude of some influencers who, boasting large followings, are willing to promote anything for monetary benefits.
He urged the public not to be misled by these deceptive videos and to avoid falling into the trap of betting schemes.
