Mumbai court temporarily blocks game based on Salman Khan's hit-and-run incident

A Mumbai civil court has ordered temporary restraint on access to an online mobile game titled 'Selmon Bhoi', allegedly based on Bollywood actor Salman Khan's hit-and-run incident.

The court has restrained the makers of the game 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 and disable access to the game from Google Play Store and all other platforms, saying that the 'Dabangg' actor had never given his consent for the game.

Stating that Khan had filed an application in the court last month against the developers of the game, the court claimed that the name and images displayed in the game appeared to be his caricature version.

The court added that the game developers used Khan's identity and popularity for their commercial gain.

The court directed the developers to file their affidavit to Khan's plea and posted the matter for further hearing on September 20.
