The HC also sought the state government's response in connection with the petition seeking legal prohibition on online rummy games. Online rummy games have become very popular, and a 28-year-old Kerala man had died of suicide earlier this month reportedly because he was deep in dept due to the online game.
The petitioner has sought a ban on these games and also pointed out that brand ambassadors have played a significant role in attracting more people to the online game.
