The company issued a statement and expressed their ‘great relief and happiness’ over ‘anti-social elements’ being restrained from ‘disseminating false and defamatory tweets, videos and messages on social media.’ Their plea in the court was about the ‘fake news’ about Sushant also conceptualising a smart watch, being used for COVID-19 management, apart from the game FAU-G.

“We will be prosecuting such miscreants/anti-social elements in furtherance of the criminal complaint already filed before the law enforcement authorities,” the statement further read, warning of action for ‘committing criminal contempt of court.’

The company had also released a statement previously, stressing that the game was not related to Sushant Singh Rajput:

FAU-G game had been announced by Akshay Kumar, a day after uproar over the Indian government banning PUBG and other China-linked apps over security issues. Akshay also stated that 20 per cent of the profit will be donated to his initiative Bharat Ke Veer, a welfare fund for Armed Forces Families.
