The High Court has directed the Bangladesh government to form a seven-member committee to curb the advertisement and promotion of online gambling and betting through celebrities on social and mainstream media.
According to New Age, the High Court bench of Justice Fatema Najib and Justice Sikder Mahmudur Razi passed the order on April 27 after hearing a public interest writ petition.
The court asked seven officials, including the secretaries of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Cultural Affairs, Ministry of Information and Communication Technology, and the Inspector General of Police, to investigate the matter.
