Actress Tamannaah Bhatia summoned by cyber department for promoting ‘Illegal’ IPL streaming app
In a latest update, actress Tamannaah Bhatia has been summoned by the cyber cell in Maharashtra over the illegal IPL streaming app case. The case is related to the illegal streaming of IPL 2023 on a Fairplay app. It is important to mention that the concerned app is a subsidiary of the Mahadev online betting and gaming app.
As per information from reliable sources, Bhatia has been summoned over allegations of promoting the Fairplay betting application. As per complaints by a broadcaster, some of the IPL matches were broadcasted ‘illegally’ on the app.
With regard to the case, Tamannaah Bhatia has been summoned by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell as a witness. She has been instructed to appear for questioning on April 29.
Notably, the department has already recorded the statements of several other people, apart from Tamannaah Bhatia, in connection with the IPL streaming case. These include Badshah, and the managers of Sanjay Dutt and Jacqueline Fernandez. Sanjay Dutt has also been asked to present before the team in person. However, the actor has asked for some time to appear before the department.
The above mentioned people were directly involved in promoting the Fairplay app to watch the tournament. Notably, the app does not hold official broadcasting rights. This has led to heavy losses for the official broadcasters.
For those who do not know, the FairPlay app is a platform that offers leisure betting over different sports. As per reports, Cricket stands as the most liked sport on the app. Notably, it is a subsidiary of the Mahadev Betting app which also has similar offerings.
