India antitrust watchdog probes accusations that Google abused Android

India’s antitrust commission is looking into accusations that Alphabet Inc’s unit Google abuses its popular Android mobile operating system to block its rivals, four sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has for the past six months been reviewing a case similar to one Google faced in Europe that led to a fine of 4.34 billion euro (USD 5 billion) by antitrust regulators last year, three of the sources said. Google has challenged that order.
