Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), one of India’s most popular mobile games, is once again facing trouble. Many gamers are worried after news came out that the game might be banned again. But what’s the real story?
In March 2024, the Indian government’s cybersecurity team raised concerns about BGMI. They felt the game might be a threat to national security and user privacy. One of the reasons behind this worry was the case of Seema Haider, a Pakistani woman who came to India illegally. She had reportedly met her Indian partner through BGMI. This made officials even more cautious about the app and its use.
Later, in March 2025, a legal case was filed against Krafton, the company behind BGMI. A person named Santosh Torane claimed that the company was selling players’ private data. This raised serious questions about data safety. The next hearing for this case is on April 15, 2025. The court’s decision could affect the future of the game.
However, as of now (April 10, 2025), the government has not officially banned BGMI again. The game is still available and running. No final decision has been made yet.
So, BGMI players don’t need to panic. But it’s good to stay updated and be careful about what permissions you give to apps. The government is watching closely, and if they find any major problems, they might take action. For now, gamers can continue playing BGMI, but the future of the game depends on the outcome of the court case and the government’s next steps.
