The police are probing into the possibility of mobile game addiction behind the back-to-back suicide of two boys under the Vandanmedu police station limits in Idukki. The first boy was found hanging at his house on Tuesday. Another boy was found hanging in his house the next day. The police suspect that they might have committed suicide over their addiction to gaming.
Idukki District Police Chief V.U. Kuriakose said the first boy’s mobile phone has been sent for detailed analysis. “The actual reason behind the suicide can be ascertained only after the analysis,” he added.
“We also suspect love failure behind the second suicide. We will also send the second boy’s mobile phone for analysis,” Mr. Kuriakose added.
