Lucknow: The deadly Blue Whale game has caught the fancy of school children in Lucknow.
After three teenagers from Mumbai, Bengal and Kerala are believed to have committed suicide over the past one month owing to the Blue Whale challenge, the Lucknow police have found that at least five school children in the state capital are in the various stages of accepting the game challenges.
A 10-yr-old child from the Army Public School in Lucknow was reportedly inching closer to the final challenge in which the player is asked to commit suicide.
The child Parth Hora was admitted to the Balrampur hospital earlier this week after he showed disturbing behavioural changes. His parents brought him for medical counselling and he was admitted to the hospital. After a series of counselling session, Parth has now been discharged.
Similarly, a couple of more students are also being counselled after they reached different stages of the deadly game.
