Days after ExpressVPN announced that it is shutting down its operations in India over the new cybersecurity-related rules, another popular virtual private network (VPN) service provider Surfshark followed suit.

Surfshark said that its servers will be shut down in India before June 27, when CERT-In's new rules will come into effect. In a tweet, Surfshark said, "We value people’s privacy – that’s why we stand against India’s new data regulation law. We’ll shut down our physical Indian servers."
