Identified as Pritam Halder, an ITI student, was reportedly found hanging in his residence at Purba Lalpur in Chakdaha police station area.

Reports quoted the deceased's mother as saying, "When I went to call him for lunch, his room was locked from inside. After repeated banging when he did not open the door, I called the neighbours. They broke into the room and found him hanging from the ceiling fan."

She further said, "He would play it at night. I think he died by suicide as he was not being able to play PUBG."

The Police reportedly have registered a case of unnatural death.

It must be mentioned that PUBG, along with a host of other applications, was recently banned by the Centre on the grounds of it being a threat to India's national security.
