PANAJI: Goa police on Wednesday arrested professional poker player Amrita Sethi, 27, who is accused of robbing $3,300 (over Rs 2.4 lakh) in Delhi.
She and an associate, Akshat Jhamb, committed the robbery on November 5, and Delhi police had been trying to trace them.
Being a poker player and regular visitor to Goa, it was suspected that she would visit the state. Thus, Goa police constituted three teams headed by police inspectors Rahul Parab, Manguesh Naik and Sudesh Naik.

Sethi and Jhamb were handed over to a Delhi police team. Police also took into its custody the accused’s Delhi-registered car.
