Thane: 15-year-old boy allegedly kills elder brother for scolding him over PUBG

Recent highly trending game PUBG has gripped the country for some time, with every now and then the news popping about the adverse effect of the game on children’s mind.

In a recent report, an 18-year-old boy, a resident of Kurla’s Nehru Nagar area of Mumbai, allegedly hung himself after he had an argument with his family members over buying a new mobile phone for playing PUBG game.

The boy took the extreme step when he demanded that he wanted a high-end smartphone costing around Rs 37,000 to play the online game.

According to the local police, Nadeem Sheikh, worked as a sales executive at a company and lived with his wife, a kid, brother, and mother.

The elder brother of Nadeem had offered him Rs 20,000 after much argument. After the argument, close to 2 AM the family went to sleep, leaving Nadeem playing games on his phone. When the brother  got up at 4 AM to go to washroom, he found Nadeem’s body hung at the ceiling.
