An Indian teenager is alleged to have shot his mum for preventing him from playing the PUBG/BGMI game. The boy, aged 16 years, is said to have used his father’s pistol to commit the murder and hid the corpse for three days. The suspect has been taken into custody and he has confessed to the crime after interrogation.

The incident happened in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh and the boy allegedly pulled the trigger after an argument with his mother. In the heat of the argument over the highly engaging PUBG/BGMI, the boy took his father’s weapon and fired at his mother. He thereafter hid the dead body inside the house and used an air freshener to mask the smell. The Police in Uttar Pradesh says the incident happened around 3 am on June 5 and the boy’s gaming device has been sent for analysis.

There are no indications yet on the identity of the boy but it was reported that the father is a serving army personnel. The argument was said to be related to a case of missing money in the house. The mother had accused the boy of stealing the money and stopped him from playing the game. The boy was alleged to have threatened his 10-year-old sister from revealing the sordid act. The boy now in a juvenile facility, initially claimed that an electrician was the person who killed his mother.

The teenager seemingly had a grand scheme to cover up his crime. He had invited a friend to spend the night with him and his sister after the incident. The call to the police was made by the relatives of the boy and the young sister is now in the custody of her father and grandparents.

There are no direct links at this time between the game and the actions taken by the boy. The possibility of such a link should however not be lost. Further investigations should provide illumination and clarity to the incident.
