Actress Tamannaah Bhatia has been summoned by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell for interrogation regarding her involvement in the alleged illegal streaming of Indian Premier League (IPL) matches. This is the latest development in the IPL streaming controversy. Actor Sanjay Dutt was also summoned for questioning in the same case but he couldn’t attend and has requested a new date to provide his statement.
According to reports, Tamannaah Bhatia is scheduled to appear for questioning on April 29 regarding the unauthorized streaming of IPL matches via the Fairplay App, resulting in substantial losses for Viacom. Maharashtra Cyber tweeted that Tamannaah Bhatia has been summoned for questioning in connection with the illegal streaming of IPL matches on Fairplay App that caused a loss of crores of rupees to Viacom.
Sanjay Dutt was initially summoned to appear before the Maharashtra Cyber Cell on April 23 but he was not able to comply with the summons as he was out of the country at that time.
As the investigations continue, the issue of digital piracy and its consequences are becoming more complex and contentious.
