PUBG, other banned apps attempting to re-enter India without govt permit

India TV News  

Banned apps including the infamous PUBG is attempting to make an entry into India again, India TV has learnt. PUBG and similar apps were last year banned by the Indian government for concerns relating to national security and data privacy breaches, besides issues of addiction in children, monetary loss, self harm, suicides and murders. Krafton, which is controlled by Chinese behemoth Tencent, is trying to relaunch PUBG in India as Battlegrounds Mobile India. Dr. Tyagi, who has been conducting research on predatory practices of Chinese companies in India, had filed RTIs with the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology asking for documents relating to the relaunch of PUBG Mobile. "The government should take strict actions against such apps, which are trying to circumvent India laws, else tomorrow other apps like WeChat and TikTok will also use this route to re-enter India," he further said.
