In February 2021, Gaurav was arrested by a team led by then Police Inspector Rajneesh Nirmal in connection with a cricket betting case. A high-profile cricket betting racket was busted, with gangster Sachin Potela identified as the main accused. Investigations revealed that this gang had lured many college students into cricket betting. Gaurav Ahuja, Sunil Makheeja, and Ajay Shinde were charged in this case. A video that went viral on social media since this morning has once again brought Gaurav Ahuja into the spotlight.
