Tamil Nadu to soon bring law to ban online games like rummy, poker
Tamil Nadu Law Minister S Regupathy on Wednesday informed that the DMK government would soon bring a new law to ban online games such as rummy and poker. In an official statement, the minister said Chief Minister MK Stalin had instructed the implementation of the law.

The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK ) led Tamil Nadu govt is set to bring a law to ban online games like rummy and poker. The state’s Law Minister S Regupathy on Wednesday informed that the DMK government would soon bring a new law to ban online games such as rummy and poker. In an official statement, Raghunathy said Chief Minister MK Stalin had instructed the implementation of the law.
The announcement comes a day after the Madras High Court struck down a recent amendment made to the Tamil Nadu Gaming Act, passed in 1930, which imposed a ban on online games with stakes like rummy and poker.
On Wednesday, the DMK announced that it would bring in new legislation with proper reasons on why these online games must be banned. In a statement, Ragupathy said, following the demand of DMK president and Chief Minister M K Stalin, the then ruling AIADMK government urgently enacted an amendment to the Act on November 21, 2020 to ban the online rummy game and it was the reason for the court striking down the law.
Earlier, the online gaming companies that challenged the validity of the Tamil Nadu government’s ban, informed the High Court that the Supreme Court had clearly pronounced that online rummy could not be banned as it is a game of skill and not a game of chances.
Ragupathy said since public welfare is important, as soon as the order was passed in the court, Stalin had instructed clearly to frame the requisite rules, guidelines and reasons.
While hearing from online gaming companies, a Delhi High Court bench of Chief Justice Sanjib Bannerjee and Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy had said that banning games like online rummy, which are skilled games, is against Article 19(1) which allows the right to practice any profession or to carry on any occupation, trade or business.
The bench also observed that allowing the legislation, passed by the former AIADMK-govt, can be seen as erratic, unreasonable, excessive and disproportionate.

Bengal man, 60, arrested for raping pet dog for 2 years
A bizarre and revolting incident has come to the fore from West Bengal’s South 24 Parganas district, wherein a 60-year-old man was arrested for allegedly raping his pet dog repeatedly for nearly two years.

A bizarre and revolting incident has come to the fore from West Bengal’s South 24 Parganas district, wherein a 60-year-old man was arrested for allegedly raping his pet dog repeatedly for nearly two years.
According to reports, the accused, Ratikant Sardar, was arrested after a video of the sickening act, was shot by his neighbours and shared on social media. The video went viral online and the man’s disgusting act, was noticed by authorities leading to his arrest on Thursday evening.
As per a report by India Today, Sardar was caught on film by some neighbors during the sickening act. They said the accused, who was naked and drunk, was having sexual intercourse with his dog as the beast howled.
Quoting locals who requested anonymity, the report said that Sardar had been raping his pet dog at his home in Chouhati Payarabagan area of Sonarpur police station of South 24 Parganas for nearly two years.
The neighbours said they repeatedly asked him not to indulge in such an unnatural act and release the dog but he refused and continued to act upon his disgraceful fetish, adding that they had no other way but to film him during the act and share it online to expose his repulsive fetish.
Luckily, an animal welfare body came across the video of Sardar’s abominable act on social media and filed a written complaint against under Section 377 and 11 of the Animal Cruelty Act at the Sonarpur Police Station.
Kolkata Animal Welfare Foundation Founder Sandeepan Mukherjee said the video was shot nearly a year ago by some locals but they weren’t aware of any animal protection laws and failed to report Sardar’s repulsive act to the authorities, adding that the locals had repeatedly urged him to stop such behavior but he did not budge.
The accused, reportedly, also lured female stray dogs from the street and raped them with impunity for years.
Based on the complaint filed by the animal welfare group, an FIR under section 377 (voluntarily having carnal intercourse against the order of nature) was registered against the accused, who was later arrested after initial investigation and will be produced today before a court in Baruipur.
The report said that the dog was rescued and sent to veterinary hospital on Thursday evening where doctors confirmed sexual abuse. The victimized beast is currently housed at an animal treatment center in Sonarpur and is under observation.

Earlier, a Rapido biker hailing from North East was harassed by an auto driver in Indiranagar’s Bengaluru. The video of the incident widely circulated on social media wherein the auto driver stopped the Rapido biker when he was about to leave after dropping his woman passenger and took off the key of his bike and snatched the helmet and stopped him from leaving.
Another incident took place near Indira Nagar Metro Station in Bengaluru wherein an auto driver stopped the Rapido driver and smashed his mobile phone. In the viral video, the auto driver was also seen yelling about their business being affected because of Rapido motorists.

In January 2023, the Bombay High Court asked Rapido to suspend its bike-taxi services immediately in Maharashtra in connection with the illegal plying of bike taxis in the state.
The company which gained popularity in metro cities due to its cheaper rates failed to submit proof of its legal operations in court. Rapido agreed to shit its services and asked the Maharashtra government to grant it a license to operate two-wheeler bike taxis in the state. However, the request was dismissed.
