Last week, BGR India reported that PUBG Mobile was accessible to players in India despite the ban in place for the past several months. Players were able to download the game files from both file repositories as well as the official website (the latter via VPN).

It turns out, that concerned authorities took note as several players have reported access to PUBG Mobile blocked again.
