Blue Whale claims another life in Dhaka

DHAKA: A teenage boy reportedly committed suicide out of depression after exchanging text messages through internet related to Blue Whale suicide game in city’s Mirpur area.  

The deceased, identified as Sayeem Dewan, completed sixth grade in school. Besides, he used to run a book store in Mirpur area.

Mirpur Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC-investigation) Mizanur Rahman said sketch of a whale was found in Sayeem left hand. Initially it is being suspected that he might have committed suicide out of depression due to Blue Whale addiction. However, the matter is being investigated.

On the other hand, deceased’s father Babu Dewan said, “Sayeem had been showing sings of mental change before his death. They couldn’t notice the sketch of the whale because he used to wear full-sleeved shirt all the time.” 

Police sent the body to Dhaka Medical College and Hospital for autopsy.
