HYDERABAD: Chinese national Yan Hao, who was the first to be arrested for organising online gambling, and is presently lodged in Chanchalguda jail, is now waiting for High Court’s intervention. He feels that he is facing the heat of police questioning repeatedly as a result of multiple cases being registered against him over the same type of offence.
Hao moved an application in the HC in September. Later, Hyderabad police filed a counter opposing it. The court is yet to pronounce its decision on Hao’s plea.
Hao in the petition told court that following his arrest in a case registered by cyber crime in August, four cases were registered in Santosh Nagar, SR Nagar police stations and two cases each by cyber crime sleuths of Rachakonda and Hyderabad.
Since the nature of complaints in all registered cases is similar, he wants either all four cases to be clubbed with the first case registered by cyber crime, Hyderabad, or all the four petitions to be quashed. City police have already filed chargesheet against Hao and three others for organizing online gambling and they are accused of allegedly manipulating the outcome against the user.
Meanwhile, Zhu Wei alias Lambo, an accused in the instant loan app case, too is expected to face the same situation as police are planning to make him an accused in multiple cases.
