The KeralaKeralaKerala High Court Wednesday served notices to cricketer Virat Kohli and actors Tamannaah Bhatia and Aju Varghese in connection with a petition demanding a ban on online rummy games. The three celebrities have endorsed platforms where online rummy games are played.

The top court underlined that online betting was a grave social evil and asked the state government to clarify its stand on the matter.
