Google suing Competition Commission of India for investigation report leak

Alphabet Inc’s Google on Thursday said it was suing the Competition Commission of India (CCI) following the leak of a confidential CCI report into an antitrust investigation of the US tech giant.

The Times of India newspaper, and then Reuters, reported on Saturday that a CCI investigation had found Google abused the dominant position of its Android operating system in India, using its “huge financial muscle” to illegally hurt competitors.

Google said last week it looked forward to working with the CCI to “demonstrate how Android has led to more competition and innovation, not less.”
