Lahore teenager kills mother, siblings for online game

Last week, the Lahore police found four bodies from a house in Kahna. A woman and her children were mysteriously murdered. On Thursday, it was discovered that the complainant was actually the culprit.

According to the police, the perpetrator, 14, was the deceased woman’s eldest son. “He opened fire at his mother and three siblings. He had been misleading the police the entire time,” the investigation officer said.

He revealed that the teenager was “addicted” to online game PUBG. The 14-year-old boy’s family often stopped his from playing the game, but he never stopped.

On January 19, out of frustration, he shot his family, the officer added. All of them died on spot. After the murder, he told the police his mother and siblings were killed while he was asleep.

The teenager has been arrested and an FIR has been registered under sections of murder.

PUBG ban

The Pakistan Telecommunications Authority has imposed a temporary ban on the game after three gamers died by suicide in Lahore.

The PTA said that the decision was made after it received “numerous complaints against PUBG wherein it is stated that the game is addictive, wastage of time and poses a serious negative impact on the physical and psychological health of children.”

The controversial ban led to people discussing the effects of the game on young people and it became one of the most debated topics in the country.
