The game is to be removed from all platforms including the Google Play Store.

The court reportedly stated that the game developers used Salman Khan's identity and popularity for commercial gain.

The actor had filed an application in the court last month against the developers of the game, claiming that the name and images displayed in the game were caricatures of him.
