India has banned 118 apps, including the immensely popular PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) mobile game. The move came amid tension between India & China in Ladakh. Earlier, the Indian government banned 59 Chinese applications, including TikTok, after 20 soldiers were killed in a face-off with the Chinese troops in the Galwan valley in June 2020.

For computer systems, the game was designed and developed by PUBG Corporation, a subsidiary of South Korean game developing company named Bluehole. Then Bluehole partnered with the Chinese gaming company Tencent Games which introduced the mobile version of the game. Watch the video to know more.
