Valsad: A 15-yr-old boy from Pardisandhpor village in Valsad district jumped to his death from the terrace of the building where he lived after his mother and other family members lambasted him for his addiction to PUBG, for which he even went to the extent of missing school.

The family members of the boy are in a state of shock after this unfortunate incident.

Jaishan Bhikhubhai Sumekar’s mother Pannaben is a widow and works with a private company in Bangalore because of which the boy used to stay with his grandparents in Valsad and attended school.

Pannaben had come from Bangalore and she had noticed that her son was addicted to PUBG and even did not attend school on time because of the addiction.
