PUBG is all the rage these days. The Battle Royale game is very popular in India and mostly among kids. But it looks like some kids are so tired of playing it that they want a permanent ban to be put on PUBG. 11 year Ahad Nizam, a resident of Mumbai, has filed a Public Interest Litigation(PIL) in the Bombay High Court. In his PIL, Ahad seeks a ban to be put on the game in Maharashtra.
Speaking to DNA, Ahad says “After playing for a few days, I began to feel low and negative, so I stopped. This is why I have appealed to the government”. With the help of his mother, Ahad wrote to Chief Minister, Education Minister, Home Minister, the Ministry of Electronics and IT. And also the Medical Council of India, city police commissioner, Microsoft Corporation India Pvt Ltd and Changhan Kim, of The PUB-G Corporation.
