Three reasons - BGMI banned in India

Why is BGMI banned in India? Google and Krafton offer statements

BGMI was launched as a rehashed version of PUBG Mobile that was banned in 2020.

Google and Krafton offer statements Battlefields Mobile India aka BGMI has been banned in India. The game was pulled from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store on Thursday. For those ignorant, BGMI was launched in the country last time as a rehashed interpretation of PUBG Mobile. The ultimate was banned in India as part of the government's action to remove a list of Chinese apps that were supposed a" trouble to India's security." It seems BGMI has been added to that list now as the game has been removed from Android and iOS app stores in the country. But why exactly is BGMI banned in India?

 Why is BGMI banned in India? 

 There is not a clear reason behind the ban on BGMI in India, but it seems to be linked to a recent alleged payoff over PUBG. According to a recent report, a 16- time-old boy shot and killed his mama over an argument about online games like PUBG. The Indian law enforcement was probing the incident. 

Union Minister Rajeev Chandrashekhar noted that PUBG was banned in India in 2020, but banned apps have been resurfacing in new incorporations. This was a clear reference to BGMI, which launched as a new interpretation of PUBG Mobile minus the disturbing rudiments.
