Scolded by mother for playing PUBG, 14-year-old commits suicide in Andhra Pradesh: Cops
Hindustan TimesA 14-year old boy from Andhra Pradesh’s Visakhapatnam committed suicide by consuming insecticide after his mother reprimanded him for being addicted to the online game PUBG, the police said. Upset over his mother’s scolding for playing PUBG, Boyi Lohith mixed insecticide in a glass of water and gulped it down. Boyi Lohith, a student of Class 10 in a private school at Pedagantyada locality in Andhra Pradesh, died at state-run King George Hospital on Monday night, but the incident came to light only on Wednesday, when his uncle Puli Suri Reddy lodged a complaint with the police. “Even after undergoing treatment for 14 days, Lohith’s condition deteriorated further and he was moved to the King George Hospital, where he succumbed on Monday night,” inspector of police of New Port police station P Appala Naidu said, adding that a case of suspicious death was registered and investigation was underway.
