Delhi Police’s Special Cell has registered an FIR against Real11 Fantasy Sports LLP and its senior officials over allegations of cyber and financial fraud involving more than ₹4.34 crore, according to complaint details reviewed for the case.
The FIR was registered on September 18 after a local court issued directions on September 15. Advocate Ajay Kumar Kasana, the complainant, has alleged that funds deposited on the Real11 platform, winnings displayed in his account and later withdrawal restrictions caused him substantial financial loss.
The allegations remain under investigation and have not been established by a court.

Complainant says ₹1.39 crore was deposited on platform
According to the complaint, Kasana deposited around ₹1.39 crore on the Real11 platform during financial years 2024-25 and 2025-26.
His account allegedly displayed winnings of around ₹1.31 crore.
However, he claims he was allowed to withdraw only about ₹26 lakh before access to his account was blocked.
The complaint further alleges that information relating to earlier deposits, winnings and transaction history later became inaccessible.
Police are now expected to examine whether this was the result of routine account restrictions, technical changes or deliberate manipulation of backend records as alleged by the complainant.
That distinction will be critical to the investigation.
FIR names company and senior officials
Real11 Fantasy Sports LLP is a registered limited liability partnership headquartered in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh.
Public corporate records list Amit Yadav and Lalit Yadav as designated partners of the company.
The material provided in the complaint says their names have surfaced in the criminal case along with several unidentified persons.
Investigators are examining a series of debit-card transactions routed through Paytm and HDFC Bank between March and July 2025.
The focus will be on identifying which accounts received the money, whether those accounts were directly controlled by the platform or intermediaries, and how the funds were subsequently moved.
The complaint had earlier also been submitted to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal and Ghaziabad Police before the matter reached court.
Alleged backend data manipulation becomes key technical issue
One of the more serious allegations concerns changes to account and transaction data.
The complainant has alleged that people operating the platform altered information on the backend dashboard, affecting access to earlier deposits, winnings and financial records.
In simple terms, a backend dashboard is the administrative side of an online platform that ordinary users cannot normally access.
It can be used by authorised staff to manage accounts, transactions and system data.
If investigators find evidence that financial records were intentionally altered without authority, that could become central to the cybercrime portion of the case.
However, the existence of a disputed balance or missing account history alone would not prove criminal manipulation.
Police will need server logs, database records, internal access histories and payment-gateway information to establish what actually happened.
IT Act and gambling provisions invoked
The FIR reportedly invokes Sections 316, 318 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita in relation to allegations of criminal breach of trust, cheating and common liability.
Sections 43 and 66 of the Information Technology Act have also been invoked.
Those provisions broadly deal with unauthorised access to computer systems, damage to data and computer-related offences when such acts are carried out dishonestly or fraudulently.
Section 3 of the Delhi Public Gambling Act has also been applied.
That provision relates to keeping or operating a common gaming house. The specific factual basis for applying it to this case will have to be examined during the investigation.
The legal classification may also be significant because India’s online gaming regulatory framework has changed sharply in recent years.
Real11 publicly announced in August 2025 that it had stopped money-based games following changes in national online gaming law.
The transactions cited in the present complaint span periods before and after those regulatory changes, making the exact dates and nature of each payment important.
Police to examine server logs and money trail
The next phase of the case is likely to be heavily dependent on technical evidence.
Investigators are expected to examine Real11’s server logs, user-account activity, internal administrative access, payment records and banking transactions.
They will also need to determine whether the ₹4.34 crore figure represents actual money transferred, disputed winnings, claimed consequential losses or a combination of different amounts.
That point is important because the individual figures cited in the complaint do not by themselves explain the entire ₹4.34 crore allegation.
The case therefore remains at the evidence-gathering stage.
For now, the FIR establishes that the allegations are serious enough to be formally investigated. It does not establish that Real11 or any individual named in the complaint committed fraud.
What this means for you: Users of gaming or investment-style platforms should preserve screenshots, bank statements and withdrawal records if an account is suddenly restricted. Large disputes should be documented immediately because server logs and transaction trails can become crucial evidence later.
