Following instructions from Satish Kumar, Gopi acted as an intermediary and played a key role in facilitating the deal between the complainant and Satish Kumar for extending an official favours specifically for not including the names of the complainant and his nephew in crime number 150/2025, registered under Sections 318(4), 329 (3) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and Section 5 of the Telangana State Gaming (Amendment) Act (TSGLA), at Manuguru police station.

The chemical test conducted during the trap operation yielded positive results on both hand fingers of Gopi and on his right-side trouser pocket. The identity of the complainant is being withheld for security reasons, the ACB officials said.
