A young boy from Indian Punjab spent Rs. 1.6 million on PUBG Mobile for in-app purchases. The 17-year-old was using his parents’ account to purchase in-game cosmetics, combat passes, ammo, and other items.According to the parents, the cash that was used by the boy was set aside as savings for the fathers medical expenses. The parents were unconscious of this for a lengthy time as the youngster said that he was using the smartphone for online courses during the lockdown.Most of the wealth was spent within a month and it was very easy for the boy as the transaction and other details were only saved on the smartphone.
The boy would keep deleting messages with transaction details and change between two different bank financial records to avoid exhausting them.
The parents only found out when they acknowledged bank statements for each of their accounts. The boy had also emptied his mother’s provident fund and his own account. In order to teach the boy a lesson the father forced him work at a scooter
repair shop so he could earn for himself. He said that he wasn’t leaving to let his kid sit idle any longer even for studying.
