When the police raiding party broke into the illegal den, Kapila Matrix, in the posh Koregaon Park area, around 1.45 a.m., they nabbed at least 41 people, including the in-charge of a police station, Vijay Jadhav, and the owner of the premises, former municipal corporator Avinash Jadhav.
Deputy Commissioner of Police-Zone II Pravind Mundhe said that the high-profile night-club had been fitted with high-tech security features, including CCTVs, highly restricted access with biometric identity or special scan cards issued to authorised members, forcing police to break down the door and enter the premises.
The police have also seized a DVR, currency counting machine, expensive bottles of liquor, packets of banned cigarettes and gutkas, large number of Flush (playing cards) boxes and illegal poker coins of Rs 100, Rs 500, Rs 1,000, Rs 5,000 and Rs 25,000, coin machines, four cars and a two-wheeler and cash Rs 640,000 in the raid, he said.
The specially designed manner in which the chairs-tables were arranged, with all facilities for the customers, the presence of currency counting machines and other things, indicate that huge amounts of gambling activities used to go on there, Mundhe said.
Among those arrested are some businessmen from Pune and Mumbai, police said.
