Within a span of two weeks, more than six children across India have taken their lives playing this game.
Amid rising concerns over adverse effect of the 'Blue Whale Challenge', the Chief Justice of India Jagdish Singh Khehar on Wednesday said that the online game can make people do anything.
The Chief Justice made the remark while hearing a case where he drew an analogy to the Blue Whale game.
More than six children across India in the age group of 12-19 years have taken their lives playing this game within a span of two weeks.
The Union Minister for Women and Child Development Maneka Gandhi has also urged parents and elder to monitor the activities of children and dissuade them from falling prey to such challenges.
The Ministry of Electronics and IT has directed the internet majors - Google, Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, Microsoft and Yahoo - to immediately remove the links of the deadly Blue Whale Challenge, which has led several children in India and other countries to commit suicide.
Last week, a student in Madhya Pradesh's Indore attempted to end his life by following instructions given in the online suicide game.
On August 10, a 14-year-old boy from Solapur, who was on his way to Pune to complete a task given to him in the online game 'Blue Whale Challenge', was rescued by the police.
Before that, Class 9 student allegedly ended his life by jumping off a building in Mumbai, reportedly becoming victim to the Blue Whale suicide challenge.
Admitting to being the driving factor behind the suicides of youngsters playing the game, Philipp Budeikin, who claims to have created the game, says that the victims were just ‘biological waste’.
"Victims were ‘happy to die’ and I am ‘cleansing society’," Budeikin told police when he was arrested in May this year.
