The ‘Blue Whale’ Game started in Russia. Gamers are solicited to finish and upload video recordings from a progression of dares within a span of 50 days. Carve a ‘blue whale’ in one’s arm is also one of them. More than 100 deaths have been reported throughout the world connected to the destructive game.

Another incident of victim on account of the ‘Blue Whale’ game has been lodged by the police department of Maharashtra. A 14-year-old boy of a businessman left his home from Solapur of Maharastra to complete a task administered by the ‘Blue Whale’ game ‘handlers’. The police department has come to know that the Class 9 student was deeply addicted on the game in which a game-player was given ‘50 tasks’ by the ‘handler; and was finally controlled into taking the ultimate dare – which was ‘suicide’.

A year ago, Philipp Budeikin, a 21-year-old instigator was confined, and he has been accused of sorting out 8 groups for ‘promoting suicide’. The case filed against him was on the charge of 15 teenagers committed suicide, and another five were saved at the ultimate moment. Teenagers were told on such web-based social networking sites, “the best things in life begin with the letter ‘S’ – Semiya (family), Saturday, Sex, Suicide”.

Not only Philip Budeikin, there may be more instigators scattering throughout the world who are trying to provoke the teenagers to commit suicide. They are completely patients of psychological disorder and their targets are teenagers who are psychologically weak. Mostly the teenagers are trapped who keep themselves deeply attached with the ‘virtual world’ and have no attachment with the ‘real world’.
