Pokemon Go, a new location- based augmented reality game, becoming a rage among youngsters, the Mumbai Police have cautioned people not to make it a cause of accidents while playing it on city roads.
Ironically, the game is yet to be launched officially in India but it has already taken the country by storm and gamers are playing it by downloading the APK (Android application package) file.
Players, known as 'trainers' in the game and their main aim is to walk around to find and catch Pokemon and access specific locations called Pokestops - where Pokeballs and other useful items are collected.
