20-Year-Old From Telangana Dies After Playing PUBG Continuously For 45 Days

Popular video game, Player Unknown's Battleground aka PUBG has been a rage among game enthusiasts ever since its releases. But the rage has now become an addiction and it is reaching a point where people's lives are at risk due to the game. In a tragic incident, a 20-year-old boy from Telangana died after playing the game for long hours.

According to local media, the boy, a resident of Jagtial was playing PUBG for 45 days and had developed serious neck pain due to this.

The doctors who treated him in a Hyderabad hospital reportedly found the nerves surrounding his neck were completely damaged after he played the game for long hours at a stretch.

The unfortunate incident in Telangana is the latest in an ever-growing number of cases due to PUBG addiction.

Just a couple of days ago there was a report that a boy from Karnataka failed in his first year pre-university exam after he wrote only about 'how to play PUBG game' in the Economics answer sheet of his university because he did not get time to study while busy playing PUBG.

In another case a youth from Madhya Pradesh had a narrow escape after he accidentally drank acid mistaking it to be water, while he was busy playing PUBG on his mobile.

The increasing number of reports of addition and accidents have concerned people calling for a ban on PUBG. States including Gujarat have temporarily banned the game and some colleges across the country too have restricted students from playing PUBG.
