If you live on the Internet, you must’ve heard the name of the Blue Whale game and the toll of death it caused in the past some time.

We had reported to you a while back how the game after causing many teenage suicides worldwide has started making its impact in Bengaluru, India.

Just a few days back the game caused its first death in Mumbai and left everyone in shock. A 14 YO old Andheri based teenager became the first Indian victim of this game by doing a suicide.

However, there’s a bit sigh of relief as the Russia based creator of the game Philipp Budeikin has been caught and thrown in the jail.

Those who don’t know Blue Whale game can reach a young teenager on social media sites if they use certain hashtags and get involved in some groups. When the player signs up for the game, she or he is assigned an administrator who provides them with a daily task to complete in 50 days, of which they must send photographic proof of completion. These tasks are initially simple enough, such as watching a horror movie or waking up at odd times, but eventually they are told to inflict harm upon themselves. But on the 50th and final day, they are asked to kill themselves. Those who get cold feet are threatened that the administrator possesses all their information and would bring harm to them or their loved ones.
