Krafton has been very careful with BGMI after the ban on PUBG and so is the case with Garena, especially in India. Even after being so careful there have been a couple of cases against Free Fire in North east. As of now no action has been taken on those complaints but the ban in Bangladesh can trigger the dead flame again.
