Lucknow,
Sep 8: In yet another case of Blue Whale challenge, two more deaths were
reported in the capital within a fortnight due to this deadly game, even after
it was banned in the state last month. According to family members, the two
boys died due to playing blue whale game, but the police refused to accept it.
In the recent death a 14-year-old boy of eighth standard committed suicide in
the posh B Block of Indira Nagar area of the state capital yesterday. SSP
Lucknow Deepak Kumar has, however, refused to accept that this death happened
due to the deadly game. "We did not find the game in the mobile phone
being used by the boy, hence it could not be verified about the death. Besides
the family members also refused to go for a postmortem of the body," he
said today. The SSP said an investigation was underway to find out whether the
boy's death was due to the playing of blue whale game or not. While in another
incident, Aditya a student of Nirmala Convent School, his body was found
hanging from the the ceiling in his study room. Immediately he was taken to the
nearby hospital, but doctors declared him brought dead. However, his Grandmother
Nirmala said that Aditya was good in studies, but was playing games in his
mobile phone for the past two days and it could be blue whale. Later, the
family gave an application to the police stating that their son committed
suicide after playing blue whale game and they do no want any postmortem.
Aditya is the second possible victim of Blue whale game in Uttar Pradesh. The
first death of a sixth standard student in the state reportedly due to the game
was received from Hamirpur district of Bundelkhand region on August 27 last.
According to the incident, the victim Parth Singh, a student of standard sixth
was found hanging from the ceiling in Mission compound area in Maudaha area of
Hamirpur, while his father's mobile on which he was playing the Blue Whale
Challenge game was still running, when the family members found him dead. The
13-year-old, the only son of Vikram Singh, Parth in his post said before taking
the suicide plunge," very soon I will cross the last level of the game. My
win is certain though I would not be alive to see it, but still I want to win
at any cost." But later the police refused to accept that the boy died due
to playing blue whale game. The deadly Blue Whale game has taken lives of at
least 10 children so far in the country even after several advisory issued by
the government and police . Last month,UP SGP Sulkhan Singh had banned the Blue
Whale game across the state after reports of suicides in other parts of the
country. Mr Singh said, the Union ministry of electronics and information
technology as well as Union Home Ministry had directed to the state governments
to impose a blanket ban on the game. The DGP had directed police officers to
take action against the people who are promoting the game, create awareness
among children and urge the parents to keep watch on the activities of the
children. The online Blue-Whale Challenge game has become controversial in the
country quite for some time. A player has to complete 50 task in 50 days time
with giving pain to the body and at last has to commit suicide. The player has
to make a video of all the task and has to send to the instructor who instructs
him and give points. In the world more than 150 youths have committed suicide
due to this game. UNI
