BGMI in Trouble Again Krafton Faces Serious Allegations

Battlegrounds Mobile India BGMI is more than just a game. It’s where we unwind after a long day, connect with friends, and feel the thrill of competition. But now, a serious cloud of uncertainty hangs over our beloved game, and it’s causing worry in the gaming community across India.

Alarming Accusations Against Krafton

Recently, some disturbing allegations have come to light. A First Information Report (FIR) has been filed at the Akluj Police Station in Maharashtra against Krafton India Pvt. Ltd., the company behind BGMI. The complaint, lodged by Santosh Torane, claims that Krafton illegally shared personal user data with outside parties allegedly through Telegram for as little as ₹2,000 per subscriber.

Legal Trouble and Privacy Concerns

The FIR doesn’t stop there. It accuses Krafton and four of its top executives of criminal conspiracy and cheating under the Indian Penal Code, along with violations under the Information Technology Act, 2000. The legal case is now moving ahead, with a hearing scheduled at the Bombay High Court on April 15, 2025.

Will BGMI Be Banned Again

These developments have triggered fears that BGMI could be banned again just like its predecessor, PUBG Mobile, which was removed from Indian app stores in 2020 due to privacy concerns. For those who’ve been loyal to BGMI through all its ups and downs, the thought of another ban feels heartbreaking.

Krafton Responds But Doubts Remain

Krafton has strongly denied the accusations, stating that user data privacy and protection are top priorities. But despite these assurances, the situation has sparked serious conversations about how tech companies handle user data and whether players can truly feel safe.

As of now, everything rests in the hands of the courts. Until the case unfolds, players are holding their breath, hoping this doesn’t spell the end again for a game that’s become part of their everyday lives.
