Petition filed against Tamannaah for endorsing online gambling

A PIL has been filed against Tamannaah Bhatia and Virat Kohli in Madras High Court for endorsing online gambling on her social media platforms. Tamannaah is the brand ambassador for Mobile Premiere League (MPL) and has been promoting it on her social pages.

Petitioner AP Suryaprakasham said, “There is a rule of law where the amended Consumer Protection Act has a provision that for false advertisements the brand ambassadors are responsible. Hence I request the court to take up this as a suo moto case” (sic)
