Here are the only words that people should pay attention to in the article "a complaint filed with CCI cannot be withdrawn". Also there is no source for the $5 billion in fine.
With a bit more digging I was able to find extracts from the original complaint/concern.
CUTS believes that Google can potentially engage in anticompetitive activities to the possible detriment of these markets in India and that therefore such activities in this regard need to be thoroughly investigated by the CCI.
This is further explained using the following example:
CUTS conducted a thorough study on Google and we have come across instances where the firm is abusing its dominant position.CCI had asked us to further investigate. For instance, if you search for Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg on Google, the first five results are on his Google Plus pages. His Facebook page was the 8th result.
This case may have been inspired by those filed in other countries:
