Online video games have been a craze among youngsters in India and have been keeping them hooked to mobile phones for long hours.

It may be mentioned that in June this year, a 15-year-old boy from Guwahati had committed suicide after being denied to play PUBG by his mother.

The mother had locked away her son’s cell phone in a fit of rage after being fed up of his addiction for playing online video games.

While she was away from home, the boy committed suicide by hanging himself.
