Just a few hours back we reported you how a class 7th boy from Indore was saved by his classmates and teacher while he was set to commit suicide under the influence of Blue Whale Game. While that was a 2nd Indian case in the row, another case has now been reported.
As per the Zee News reports, a 14-year-old-boy from Solapur was on the way to Pune to commit suicide when he was rescued by the police.
How police rescued him?
The 14 year old boy left his home and had kept behind a chit that read, “Don’t try to search me”. He had Rs 3000 (Cricket Academy fees) and his mobile phone; taking them, he boarded a bus for Pune without thinking twice. Also, it is reported that he was playing the Blue Whale game on his phone.
When his parents read that letter, they panicked and were clueless about what their next step should be. They immediately contacted Solapur control room.
As soon as police officers received complaint from his parents, they informed Bhigwan police station. Neelkanth Rathod, police inspector of Bhigwan police station made no delay in going to the bus depot and checking all the buses there. Luckily, he found this 14 year old boy in a bus that was on its way to Pune.
A Bhigwan police station officer said-
“As soon as we were informed by our counterparts in Solapur, we intercepted the bus and rescued the boy, who was on his way to complete a task given by the Blue Whale Challenge game.”
As reported by the officer, the boy appeared ‘lost’ and was silent when the police took him with them. His father, who is a businessman came to the police station and took the boy with him. The officer said-
“The boy’s businessman father came to the police station and took him home.”
According to him, the Class 9 student was addicted to the game, where a player is given different tasks by his handlers.
After the boy went missing, his parents started inquiring with his friends when they came to know that he was playing the ‘Blue Whale Challenge’
As per Gadgets 360, The challenge was created by Philipp Budeikin, a 22-year-old Russian, who directly handed out instructions to some children.
In an interview this year, he said he made the game to “clean society,” as people who participated in it were “biological waste.”
Though he was jailed for three years recently, it remains unclear who is the current administrator now, and how many of them exist.
It is sad to see how the deadly game is playing with the lives of children who are yet to see the life.
