PUBG Mobile and Free Fire Might get Banned in Bangladesh

The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications has stated that steps would be taken to prohibit these games in a healthy manner in order to avoid negative consequences. The use of VPNs as an alternative method of playing them was also discussed. The government has stated that it will take steps to guarantee that such incidents do not occur again.

Free Fire was the most downloaded mobile game last year, according to research by analytics firm SensorTower, while PUBG Mobile came in fourth.

Furthermore, Garena had only recently announced a dedicated Free Fire server for Bangladesh, which was set to go online next month, on June 8th.

Both games' communities have been left dumbfounded by the recommendations of the ban on their favorite titles.

PUBG Mobile had the biggest fan-following in India until the ban was placed. It was being played by all kids and adults as well everywhere, and the severe addiction it caused was one of the reasons for the ban. After the ban, the cult following of PUBGM was left heartbroken, as they could no longer legally play the game. 

Mobile players were pleased when word of the impending game, Battlegrounds Mobile India, filled the internet after months of waiting for an Indian version of PUBG Mobile. The Google Play Store is currently accepting pre-registrations for the game.

Because PUBG Mobile was prohibited in India for security reasons, a few lawmakers were wary of the Battlegrounds Mobile India debut. Ninong Ering, a member of the Legislative Assembly, is one such official who submitted a letter to the Prime Minister demanding that the game not be launched in India.

This approach toward the Indian version of PUBG Mobile provoked outrage among battle royale fans in the country. In a YouTube video, Paras Singh, a well-known PUBG Mobile player from Punjab, blasted this anti-Battlegrounds Mobile India sentiment.

While his criticism was understandable, he made the error of implying that the Congress MLA is a "non-Indian" and that Arunachal Pradesh is "part of China." Paras Singh apologised in a video on his YouTube channel, Paras Official, after receiving a lot of backlash.

His racist remarks outraged the people of Arunachal Pradesh, along with some prominent politicians of the state. The Chief Minister of the state mentioned that Singh's remark "aims at inciting ill will and hatred towards the people of Arunachal Pradesh". The Deputy Chief Minister was also hurt to see such remarks based on the appearance of a person.

 A case was filed against him by Arunachal Pradesh Police for racial hatred u/s 124A/ 153A/ 505(2) IPC. As per the latest developments, Paras Singh was taken into custody after a search was conducted by the Punjab Police.
