Lucknow: Such was his addiction to PUBG, that a teenager allegedly killed his mother after she stopped him from playing the game.
Police said that the 16-year-old boy shot his mother on Monday with his father’s licensed revolver after an argument over the mobile game that he was addicted to. The woman died shortly afterwards, FirstPost reported.
What the boy did after that was even more bizarre. After killing his mother, the juvenile hid her body and stayed at home with his 9-year-old sister for two days. He used a room freshener to cover the foul smell, NDTV reported.
“The police reached the spot after getting information about the incident. The forensic team also reached the spot. The investigation was done. During the investigation, it was revealed that the 16-year-old son killed his mother. The minor boy shot dead his mother after she stopped him from playing the PUBG game,” Qasim Abidi, ADCP, East Lucknow said.
The boy’s father is an Army personnel and is currently posted in West Bengal.
“A preliminary probe revealed that he was addicted to the game and his mother used to stop him from playing, due to which he committed the incident with his father’s pistol. He committed the crime in the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday,” news agency ANI quoted a police officer as saying.
The police also said that during the investigation, the boy tried to mislead the police by “narrating a fake story about some electrician”.
The boy had also threatened his sister not to tell anyone about the alleged crime.
