In September 2020, PUBG along with other 250 China-linked apps were banned in India.
The official order to ban BGIM was issued on July 29, and subsequently the game was taken off Google Playstore by Krafton, its developers.
Also, several reports were received from various agencies by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY), which said that  gaming app was connected to servers that were directly or indirectly based in China.
There are other apps which have “rebranded” and are communicating with servers in China and are under scrutiny, it said further.
