Preity Zinta bats for legalising betting

Popular B♋ollywood actress and co-owner of the Kings XI Punjab franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Preity Zinta, suggested that betting should be lega🦄lised as it would be an important source of revenue and curtail corruption and fixing in cricket.

“I think it would be important if the government legalises b💃etting because it will be a good source of revenue and stuff and secondly, we can stop all this crap because how many people can you control. So, that’s why I said let’s do a random lie detector test, BCCI should just make it part of the policy, it will be amazing. Because of the fear of knowing that I can get caught, that’s what you need. You can’t police people that much,” she is quoted as having said .

Zinta made the remarks while participating in a fireside chat in the India Today Conclave East 2018 last week. Zinta has advocated legalising and regulating sports betting in her past media appear📖ances as well.

Apart from Zinta, several experts and legal luminaries have also endorsed t🍸he idea of legalising betting. However, despite period utterances by prominent personalities, the government has so far🐼 shown little interest in discussing the issue at present.
