The guy who installed the kiosk spent some time in jail. What is the use if the case gets quashed by the court after one or two years? He faced a lot of harassment as his house was raided and his personal belongings (phones, laptops.etc) were taken away. This is the price Indians have to pay for trying to popularize technological innovation.
They were the owners of Unocoin exchange and they were out on bail but they faced harassment and for three years they need to run around to sort this out as their bank accounts were frozen and just last month they were exonerated. Since they had the financial background they could fight against these inappropriate lawsuit. 

Even with all the money power, it took them three years to get a ruling in their favor. Imagine what will be the case if similar incidents happen to some of the middle-class cryptocurrency investors. They won't be having enough resources to sustain the legal fight, and even if they have the resources, there is no guarantee that they will receive a favorable judgement in the end. Going against the state is not practical in India.

The difference is that a normal citizen will not take the risk to install a BTCitcoin kiosk fearing what happens if you are in a legal tangle, you will burn your resources and you will be spending most of your time fighting the authorities and there is no incentives in doing so but when an exchange owners installs a kiosk he does have the incentives and he might have taken the legal advice before installing them and it is not a secret that it will take years if you are caught in a court case.

Here is the latest news on this topic:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-india-cryptocurrency-ban-idUSKBN2B60R0

A lot of people were hoping for a rethink from the part of the government, after the high-pitched social media campaign. But the government hasn't moved a bit and they are very adamant about the blanket ban on cryptocurrency. They are planning to ban all the cryptocurrencies that were invented outside India. It is very simple. They will ban established cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, LTC and ADA, so that their cronies such as Ambani and Adani could come up with the "made in India" version of cryptocurrency.

So does that mean that the shitty government will come out with a bunch of centralized cryptocurrencies created as per your term invented (a mere copy using a open source code)  Cheesy. I have no idea about the internal politics but i understand that they ruling party is a right wing organization who are notorious for creating community violence and the minority are harassed.

What i cannot understand is that, are these official government publications about it publishing these or just rumors spreading in the social media as we are seeing these threads for months.

It's not just rumors. The finance minister (Nirmala Sitharaman) and the Minister of State for Finance and Corporate Affairs (Anurag Singh Thakur) have been releasing frequent statements related to the topic for the last 2-3 months. They have made it clear that they don't have any objection to the usage of "Blockchain", but they will not allow any "cryptocurrency" to operate within India. Also, I don't think that Reuters will publish anything unless it is completely verified.
