Believe it or not, a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed against the Niantic Inc., makers of the super popular Pokémon Go, an augmented reality game allowing people to catch Pokémons virtually in their phone.

The PIL was filed by Alay Anil Dave in the Gujarat High Court – says the game hurts the religious sentiments of people because it shows ‘eggs’ in places of worship.

As per the plea, among other things, the image of eggs shown in the augmented reality game appear in places of worship of different religious groups.

The petitioner has said eggs are considered as non- vegetarian food, and it is blasphemous to carry non-vegetarian food inside a place of worship of Hindus and Jains.

Nachiket Dave, the lawyer of the petitioner said to the press:

“People playing the game get their points in the form of eggs which generally appear in the places of worship of different religious groups. To find eggs in temples of Hindus and Jains is blasphemous, and therefore my client has sought ban on the game from the country.”

Not only this, the game violates the privacy of a person, it poses a threat to the players’ life who walk around in the search of a Pokemon.
