This is not a video game but the participants are required to receive instructions from an anonymous administrator, and their final task is to commit suicide. The target is basically young children. (Reports in the media reveal that the game has taken a few lives in India and its popularity is growing) The Blue Whale Game is a challenge to the whole society and comprehensive action against this from all responsible agencies is of utmost importance. "As far as the State of Kerala is concerned, the Cyber Wing of Police Department is making their best efforts to make people aware through Social Media and other effective channels. In view of the threat, which is already at our door step, I would request that immediate action be initiated to ban this game all over India so that we can save precious lives", the letter said.
