The victim has been identified as Subrat Mallick.
Subrat, who was working overseas, returned to his home at Chhoti village around six months ago and was busy with mobile games since then. But the situation went out of control when he chose to download and play the deadly ‘’Blue Whale Challenge” since Ganesh Puja. Taking into account the fact that he was mentally depressed since then, Subrat’s family members put a watch on him and finally caught him trying to commit suicide by stabbing his stomach with a kitchen knife this morning.
The victim was first rushed to the Indupur Community Health Centre (CHC) and then shifted to Kendrapara District Headquarters Hospital (DHH) as his condition deteriorated.
Police have reached Subrat’s home and seized his mobile for verification.
