CCI orders probe against Google on complaint by gaming company Winzo

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Thursday ordered a detailed investigation into Google in connection to a complaint filed by Winzo Games for alleged unfair business practices with respect to listing of real money gaming apps on Play Store.

The CCI in its order found Google to be prima facie in violation of antitrust provisions of the Competition Act due to abuse of dominant position. The Commission also directs the DG to complete the investigation and submit a consolidated investigation report within a period of 60 days from the date of receipt of this order.
