The court added that the game developers used Salman Khan’s identity and popularity for commercial gain
A Mumbai civil court has ordered for temporary restraint on access to an online mobile game titled ‘Selmon Bhoi’, allegedly based on a hit-and-run incident involving Bollywood actor Salman Khan.
Civil court judge K M Jaiswal passed the order on Monday and a copy of it was made available on Tuesday.
The court restrained the makers of the game, Parody Studios Pvt Ltd and its directors, from disseminating, launching, re-launching and recreating the game or any other content relating to the actor.
The court also directed the makers to immediately take-down/ block/ disable access to the game from Google Play Store and all other platforms.
“Upon watching the game and its images, it prima facie matches with the identity of the plaintiff (Khan) and to the hit-and-run case connected to the plaintiff,” the court said.
It further said Khan had never given his consent for the game.
