How did BGMI esports team UDOG India respond to hacking allegations?

Responding to the allegations, UDOG India recently released an official statement where they mentioned that they have carried out extensive research on the matter and have found that the players were indeed not cheating.

However, they also agreed that the events regarding the POV video were misleading. While Kishu had previously stated that he couldn't save the video due to his device's unavailability of storage space, it proved to be false when the investigation was carried out through the POV video provided by his teammate Rambo.

The announcement further stated that Dev was playing from Kishu's account and he too failed to provide the POV video.

Since these actions violate the Terms and Conditions of the contracts given to the BGMI esports players by UDOG India, who want to deliver fair and competitive gameplay in the tournaments, the team reportedly released three players. The players are Kishu, Dev, and Zark.

The officials further thanked the concerned individuals who helped in the investigation and indicated that the organization will strive to continue helping in the growth of BGMI esports in India.
