Karnataka High Court extends relief to Dream11 founders from arrest

The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday extended the partial relief it had granted to Harsh Jain and Bhavit Sheth, the cofounders of Mumbai-based fantasy gaming platform Dream11, last month. The extension of relief means the Bengaluru Police will not take any coercive action against them until further orders from the court.

The Annapoorneshwari Nagar Police in Bengaluru, had last month, registered an FIR against the fantasy gaming platform on a complaint from a city resident that the game operator was violating the new state law banning wagering and betting in online games.
