India's Competition Commission is investigating whether U.S.-based Google L.L.C. abused its market dominance and used its Android mobile operating system to block its rivals, Reuters reported citing sources. The European Commission fined Google $5 billion in 2018 for unfair practices such as forcing manufacturers to pre-install Google Search and its Chrome browser on Android devices.
