BGMI is among the biggest Chinese apps that were relaunched and rebranded after the Government of India banned PUBG mobile on September 02, 2020.
The Government of India has banned more than 270 apps, suspecting the stealing of Indian users' data and sharing it with Chinese entities.
Many of these apps came back to India with rebranded and new identities while their competitor apps tried to sweep in and filled the void left by others.
A clear reason hasn't been specified, it is rumored the ban is over an alleged recent killing over the game.
16-year-old boy reportedly killed his mother over PUBG. The minor was addicted to the Krafton game. He was enraged after his mother scolded him and asked him to stop playing the game.
He shot his mother with his father's licensed gun on June 04, 2022.
