Kerala HC notices to Virat Kohli, Aju Varghese and Tamannaah

KOCHI: The Kerala high court on Wednesday directed for issuing notices to cricketer Virat Kohli and film actors Tamannaah and Aju Varghese on a PIL seeking a ban on online games, including Rummy.


A division bench led by chief justice S Manikumar sought the views of the cricketer and the actors after considering a PIL filed by Pauly Vadakkan of Thrissur seeking steps to curb online gaming as the number of users in the state is increasing rapidly.



It is alleged in the petition that online games are being played in the state using the loophole that such games are not included under the provisions of Kerala Gaming Act, 1960. As the chances of winning are low, there have been instances where people who have lost money have ended their lives, the petition said, adding that restrictions should be brought in for online gaming in Kerala.
