Reports suggest that the youth died after complaining about severe neck pain, caused by playing the mobile game constantly for over 45 days.

However, Dr. Raj Kiran, who was treating him, provided the much-needed clarification. “He was suffering from a serious infection and was undergoing treatment. Sagar’s unfortunate demise has absolutely no connection with PUBG or any other games he may or may not have been addicted to. In fact, reports suggesting that he suffered paralysis are also false.”
