The girl's family reported a missing case and police searched the area and found the child's body.

Last year in June, a 15-year-old boy living in the eastern Indian state of Maharashtra killed his brother for scolding him for playing PUBG on his phone. The teenager reportedly banged his brother's head on the wall and stabbed him repeatedly with a pair of scissors for stopping him from playing the game.
