An illegal casino-cum-bar operating from a farmhouse in south Delhi was busted in a late evening raid on Tuesday. Police said 30 persons, including five women bar attendants, have been arrested and 13 luxury cars seized from the farmhouse. Spread over 13 acres on the outskirts of Delhi and Gurgaon border, the farmhouse is owned by a retired Army Major who is being interrogated.

The retired Army Major had rented out the first floor of the farmhouse — which has five casino tables in a hall — at Rs 2.5 lakh per month. Named Yaduvanshi Raj Mahal, the farmhouse is also used to shoot films and tv serials.
