19 year boy, who killed family, was addicted to online game PUBG: Police

A 19-year-old man, arrested for allegedly killing his parents and sister, was addicted to an online game and had rented a room in Mehrauli where he spent time with his friends after bunking classes, said a senior police officer. Suraj alias Sarnam Verma allegedly killed his father Mithilesh, mother Siya and sister in the early hours on Wednesday and then ransacked the house to make it look like robbery. However, he was arrested later in the evening on Wednesday.

The officer said the accused showed no signs of remorse and he constantly kept saying, “please save me from the law”. His family members were cremated today but his relatives did not request the court to allow Suraj to complete the last rites. Mithilesh’s brother and nephew carried out the last rites, he added. During investigation, the police found that Suraj had a WhatsApp group comprising nine to 10 friends, including girls, where they would talk about bunking classes and made other plans about hanging out, the officer said.
