New Delhi: The Maharashtra Cyber Cell has summoned actress Tamannaah Bhatia in the illegal IPL matches streaming case. The actress has been asked to appear for questioning on April 29. Sanjay Dutt’s name also emerged in connection with the case. He was asked to appear for questioning earlier this week. However, he asked for a new date due to his schedule.
“Maharashtra Cyber summons actor Tamannaah Bhatia for questioning in connection with the illegal streaming of IPL 2023 on Fairplay App that caused loss of Crores of Rupees to Viacom. She has been asked to appear before Maharashtra Cyber on 29th April,” ANI shared on X.
“Actor Sanjay Dutt was also summoned in this connection on 23rd April but he had not appeared before them. He had, instead, sought a date and time for recording his statement and said that he was not in India on the date,” they added.
According to the Times of India, in September 2023, an FIR was registered after Viacom18 complained that they possess Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) for streaming the IPL matches. Despite this, the betting app Fair Play platform was streaming the matches illegally on their platform. This led to over Rs 100 crore loss for Viacom18. Following the FIR, several stars including Badshah, Sanjay Dutt, Jacqueline Fernandez and Tamannaah, among others, were called in for questioning. In December 2023, an employee of the betting app was arrested.
