About this APK
Indian Messenger is an app by Saurabh Punia, listed since at least September 2019. It includes native code only for x86 32-bit and ARM 32-bit, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.
It asks for 56 permissions, 15 of them sensitive, including precise location, camera and record audio.

Indian Messenger APK: questions and answers
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
Is the Indian Messenger APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is b71614a32226e65a3b6238b327b4d799.
