A teenage girl allegedly committed suicide in Nagpur early this week and police is probing if the act was a result of some online game she was playing, an official said today. The 17-year-old girl, was found hanging in her house at around 7:30 pm in Nagpur on December 4, the official said.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asking the central government to ban the online game Blue Whale that has driven many teens across the world towards suicide. At least one child has allegedly killed themselves in India due to the game too.

In a span of 24 hours, two schoolboys allegedly obsessed by the "Blue Whale" online suicide game have been saved in the nick of time. Last week, a teenager's suicide from a high-rise building in Mumbai was linked to the deadly game.
