Madurai: The deadly Blue Whale Game has claimed a life in Tamil Nadu’s Madurai yesterday.

The victim has been identified as a 19-year-old boy named Vignesh a second year commerce student at a private college.

Vignesh hung himself at his residence. The Police have found a suicide note which read “Blue Whale – This is not a game but danger. Once you enter, you can never exit,”

The police found the telling image of a whale carved into Vignesh’s left arm with “Blue Whale” written below it.

His friends have reportedly told the police he was spending more time than usual on his phone – the only clue that he was deeply engaged in the game.
