Team India skipper Virat Kohli has landed himself into trouble after the Kerala High Court on Wednesday issued a legal notice to the flamboyant batsman and actors Tamanna and Aju Vargheese. It is related to the petition seeking a ban on online rummy portals after several youths have questioned the fact that brand ambassadors play a very important role in getting them addicted to playing the games. All these three aforementioned celebrities are brand ambassadors of the online rummy.
The petitioner has made a complaint to the high court stating that several people have committed suicide in the country after incurring huge losses by playing the online game. Meanwhile, the high court has also issued notice to the state government and is waiting for their response.
It must be noted that a certain Vineeth aged 27 recently committed suicide in Trivandrum after losing a huge sum of Rs. 21 lakhs. Meanwhile, Sajesh who is an addict of the game has also incurred a huge loss. During his interaction with the IANS, he said, "The intervention of the honourable High court is welcome as I know that several people have lost a huge amount of money playing this online game and I myself have lost more than Rs 6 lakh.”
The brand ambassador indeed plays a big role in attracting the gullible youth in playing this game which soon turns into an addiction. I had to seek professional medical help to come out of this addiction and the court must ban this game in India,” he added.
