Tamannaah Bhatia, an actor, has been summoned in connection with the advertising of a subsidiary app of the Mahadev online gambling and betting programme, sources said on Thursday.
The actor has been summoned by the Maharashtra cyber cell for allegedly promoting the viewing of Indian Premier League (IPL) matches via the Fairplay betting app.
Ms. Bhatia, who has appeared in films like ‘Baahubali’ and ‘Lust Stories 2’, has been summoned as a witness and is scheduled to testify before the cyber cell next week.
A broadcaster filed a lawsuit alleging that some IPL matches were illegally streamed on the app.
The Maharashtra Cyber Cell has previously taken testimonies from musician Badshah and the management of stars Sanjay Dutt and Jacqueline Fernandez in the case.
