India, the most populated nation in the world, could be about to ban online betting apps. And it seems some people in the Asian country might not be very happy about it.<\/p>\n

The nation\u2019s Supreme Court is considering a ban off the back of litigation filed by an evangelist and politician. Dr K.A. Paul filed litigation with the aim of protecting the youth and vulnerable in India from the harms of online gambling.<\/p>\n

Paul, and other co-plaintiffs, are urging politicians to take action, highlighting the many celebrities who advertise these illegal apps, an issue currently under investigation. The litigation, which has prompted the Supreme Court to begin a process of consultations, also cited multiple instances of suicide over betting debts.<\/p>\n
