Google bans Pakistan terror group’s app from Google Play Store

In what will be a massive setback for Pakistan, an app belonging to a terror group active on its soil, has just been banned by Google from Google Play Store. Google has removed the app from Google Play Store for having links with Pakistan-based terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammad. Google has removed the app from its Play Store as it violated its policies.

The Jaish-e-Mohammad-linked app, which now stands removed from the Play Store is called ‘Achi Bateen’ and it had garnered over 5,000 downloads from the Android users. It was red-flagged to Google by India Today.

The app camouflaged its operations by promoting Islamic teachings of several Pakistan-based religious leaders via its platform. And from the first glance, it did not seem to be associated with any terror outfit.
