GAUTAM BUDDHA NAGAR : A 15-year-old boy addicted to video games allegedly committed suicide here after his parents stopped him from playing games on mobile phone. "Hurt" by his parents' action, the boy rushed to another room in the house and hung himself from the ceiling fan.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Greater Noida) Saad Miya Khan said that the body of the boy was found hanging from the ceiling fan with a 'dupatta' at his house. "When the family saw the hanging body, they got it down and rushed to a private hospital. The boy was declared brought dead by doctors," Khan said.
The DCP said preliminary inquiry has said that the child took the extreme step as he was barred from playing games on mobile phone by the family. "The family informed the police that the boy was upset since his phone got damaged and it was not being repaired. He was also asked not to play games on other mobile phones," the official said. The boy's father works as a gardener and the family is financially weak.
Last year in June 13, it was reported that a sixteen-year-old boy died by suicide at his home in Machilipatnam after his parents mocked him for losing an online game, similar to the wildly popular game, PUBG.
