PUBG Mobile ban letter by Maharashtra High Court declared as fake news

A circular that has been circulating on the internet highlighting the government’s intention of banning the popular game PUBG Mobile has been declared fake. The letter was signed K. Srinivasulu of the High Court of Maharashtra and after some investigation, it was found out that this person did not even exist in the Indian judicial system.

The letter stated that the purpose of banning the game because it was “creating a lot of nuisance and irrespective activities and many students spoiling their own lives…”. It seems quite obvious that the letter was fake as the structure was wrong and the grammar used was terrible. As a matter of fact, there is no position as a ‘prejudge’ making it very obvious that this was a prank.
