In yet another case of a murder over addiction to the popular online video game PUBG, a father was beheaded and cut into three pieces on Monday by his son for being prohibited from playing it. The shocking incident took place at Siddheshwar Nagar Kakati in Belagavi district of Karnataka at 5 am.

Raghuveer Kumbar killed his father, Shankar Kumbar, when he took away his mobile phone and disconnected the internet for being on his phone for long durations. He was then beaten up by his father, which ultimately led to the brutal murder. The son even locked his family members in a room before killing his father. Shankar had retired from active police service three months ago.

The incident was reported at Kakati Police Station and the senior police officers visited the crime scene. It is suspected that the son has a mental disorder. An investigation has been initiated in the matter.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is an online multi-player battle royale game.

Earlier in June, a 15-year-old boy from Bhiwandi in the Thane district of Maharashtra allegedly killed his elder brother for scolding him over playing PUBG on his mobile phone, the police had said.

At the time, the boy flew into a rage when the victim, Mohammad Shaikh (19), asked him to stop playing the game on his mobile phone, senior police inspector Mamata D'Souza had said.

He allegedly banged Shaikh's head against a wall and stabbed him repeatedly with scissors, the officer had added.

Shaikh was rushed to a government hospital where he was declared brought dead. A case was registered under section 302 (Punishment for murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), according to D'Souza.
