Summary:
A public interest litigation has been filed in the Gujarat High Court challenging the ban imposed on playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, or PUBG, by authorities in several cities across the state. The counsel for IFF told DNA that the ban imposed by law enforcement agencies is unconstitutional. The advocate said people have a right to choose their recreation and there is no concrete evidence to prove the game results in violent behaviour among youngsters. While many cities including Ahmedabad lifted the ban, it is still in place till April 30 in other cities like Rajkot. The petitioners have also challenged arrests of around 21 people who were caught playing the game..
