Pro-Kannada activists vandalise online gaming firm in Bengaluru over alleged betting

Pro-Kannada activists from the Namma Karnataka Sene group stormed and vandalised an online gaming company in Bengaluru's Koramangala area. The group targeted the Golden Aces Poker Room, destroying furniture and property while online betting games were reportedly underway, causing customers to flee. The activists alleged the company was operating illegally, citing a ban on online gaming. A reporter at the scene noted, "despite the ban which has been imposed, these guys are operating illegally in Koramangala office and the pro-kanda activists who got this particular information immediately rushed to the spot". Following the raid, police registered cases against the company for the alleged illegal gaming and against the activists for taking the law into their own hands. An investigation into the matter is now underway.
