They believe that this game can prove to be a threat to India's national sovereignty and security. It is harmful for the younger generation. 

Demand to ban the game grows.
Along with demanding the ban, CAIT has also asked Google to forbid Battlegrounds Mobile India developer company Krafton from using the Google Play Store platform for the game. According to CAIT, Battleground Mobile India has features like PUBG and this can put India's security at risk. The game can leak data of millions of users in India.

Government takes a stand regarding the ban.
An RTI filed by Dr. Gaurav Tyagi, assistant professor at JNU, has received replies from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Meity) and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). It has been said in the reply that no game can be banned before its launch. Responding to RTI, the IT Ministry said that the government cannot stop this game from being launched in India. However, as per section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000, once the game is officially launched it could face a ban.
