Admitted with multiple cut wounds all over his arms and a deep wound on his neck, it was not difficult for authorities to know that 19-year-old Udhayakumar had attempted suicide.

The doctors later learned that the Sivakasi teen inflicted these wounds by playing the Blue Whale Challenge game.

The teen confessed to have been playing the game for the past three months. He added that he did want to quit it at one point but was threatened by the game admin (administrator) with dire consequences.
