A new case of a teenager committing suicide due to the deadly blue whale game has come up. This horrific game has taken the life of a 19-year-old boy from Madurai. This time the boy has left a suicide note. The police said that the second year B.Com was found hanging at his home on Wednesday evening by his father. The deadly blue whale challenge(game) is behind the teen ager's suicide as a picture of a blue whale was drawn on his hand(which is one of the tasks of this game). This is almost a confirmation that Vignesh committed suicide because of the online game. The police also recovered a note from his home that stated "Blue Whale is not a game but danger and once entered you can never exit." The game has claimed many lives in India and worldwide. This case is the first in Tamil Nadu. It is a relationship and network based game that exists mainly on the relationship between the challenger (the kids/participants) and the administrators. The bond is created based on the series of duties/tasks given to the participants by the administrators per day, which involves tasks as grave as self-mutilation. These tasks are distributed amongst the members and are passed to each other, the last task being suicide. The kids are also asked to post pictures of them on social media before committing suicide.
