Bhubaneswar: A Class VII student was allegedly murdered by two of his friends following a tiff over playing ‘Free Fire’ on a mobile phone at Mastiput village under Town police limits in Odisha’s Koraput district.

According to police sources, the incident took place while the three boys were playing the game on a mobile phone near the village school on Thursday. An altercation broke out when the deceased, identified as  Lulu Bhoi (12), didn’t let them play the game. In a fit of rage, the duo thrashed him and later stoned him to death. They then threw the body near Kolab river.  The father of the 12-year-old boy identified the body this morning.
