An Indian man, Sharad  Joshi, 42 who hails from Pune was one among the 550 Indians to purchase a flat in the upscale township Forest Trails. But his happiness did not last for long as the residential complex had a dark secret. No one knows the actual reason but the residents and the streets around it are not lighted.

The promotion was giving away a welcome bonus of ₹30,000 to all new online casino players. With nothing to lose and in an hour of free time, he decided to try his luck.
