Maneka Gandhi, the Union Minister for Women and Child Development today on the cases of suicides due to the Blue Whale challenge game expressed her concern.

"I am deeply concerned about the incidence of children committing suicide because of the so-called Blue Whale challenge. It is sad to see young boys and girls falling victims to this self-destructive game. We all have to be extremely vigilant for our children who are becoming victims," she said in the statement.

"I would like you to sensitise all teachers and children about this game that no more child becomes a victim. I am sure that if all teachers become vigilant and keep a sharp eye on the behavior of their children, we can prevent further damage. I urge you to monitor the activities of the children and to dissuade them from falling prey to such online games," the statement read.
