A 16-year-old boy in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, allegedly shot dead his mother with his father’s pistol after she reportedly stopped him from playing the popular online game PUBG, the police said on Wednesday.
The minor then hid the body in the house for two days and fabricated a story before confessing to the crime, the police said.
While there had been constant friction between the boy and his mother over his gaming addiction, they had a strained relationship in general as the boy often felt curtailed by his mother, a senior police officer said.
