Google Play Charged Me for Telegram Premium I Never Subscribed To

I recently noticed that on 29 May 2026, I was charged through Google Play Store for a Telegram Premium subscription, even though I have never subscribed to Telegram Premium or used my Telegram account for any business purposes. The amount deducted was 200 Kenyan shillings. I did not approve any Telegram Premium purchase, free trial, or recurring subscription, and this charge appeared without my knowledge or consent. I also tried to get a response regarding this issue but have not received any reply so far. I request that any active Telegram Premium subscription linked to my Google Play account and Telegram account be immediately cancelled so that I am not charged again in the future.
