The court also directed the makers of the game to immediately take down/ block/ disable access from Google Play Store and all other social media platforms. ‘Upon watching the game and its images, it prima facie matches with the identity of the petitioner (Salman Khan) and to the hit-and-run case connected to the petitioner,’ the court stated, adding that the actor had never given his consent for the game. ‘When the petitioner has not given his consent for developing of the game, which is very similar to his identity and the case against him, certainly his right to privacy is being deprived and his image is also being tarnished’: The court explained.
