Information received from sources alerted the police and raids were conducted. It was discovered that the venue was being prepared for the gruesome game which was to commence on 14th January ahead of Sankranti.

Not just Visakhapatnam but various places across the villages, mandals and districts of Andhra Pradesh still continue the tradition and a lot of betting and local fan fare still occurs during these games.
