The Stars Poker Room located in Indiranagar, India, was raided by local police earlier this month during the start of its inaugural poker series.
Gutshot Magazine reported that the first tournament in the series kicked off with about 60 of the 75 entrants remaining when the police escorted players out of the poker room.
The tournament series was cancelled due to the incident, although eyebrows were raised as to why the raid even took place since the Bengaluru High Court approved poker as a game of skill, which led to many poker rooms opening in the region.
