A 17-year-old girl who attempted suicide playing Blue Whale Challenge Monday night and was rescued by locals has made another bid on her life by consuming pills on Tuesday night.
The girl, daughter of a BSF officer, had once again tried to end up her life by consuming sleeping pills on Tuesday. However, her life was saved after her parents took her to the hospital on finding her in an unconscious state. According to the doctor who is treating her at the Jodhpur's government hospital said, "She is out of danger but is yet to respond to the queries. The girl also looks depressed.".
Earlier on Monday night she tried to kill herself by jumping into the Kaylana Lake situated in Jodhpur district of Rajasthan but was rescued by the locals working near the lake. From Rajasthan, this is the first case reported of Blue Whale Challenge, which has been in news for making teenagers indulge in self-harming acts and subsequently taking their own lives.
According to the police, the girl has downloaded Blue Whale Challenge in her mobile since last few days. The girl failed to complete the game and was fearing that her mother will die as the game administrators had threatened her. SHO, Mukta Pareek at Mandore Police Station said, "We had already told the parents to be little cautious as the girl looked upset and depressed. We are yet to record her statement but as of now she is out of danger."
Rajasthan Human Rights Commission on Wednesday also sought a report from state government over steps taken to check the Blue Whale Challenge in Rajasthan.
The challenge that originated in Russia is spread over 50 days and requires the participants to complete 50 tasks. Over one hundred deaths linked to it have been claimed in last two months. Initially, the participants are asked to complete tasks like watching a horror movie alone, carving the shape of a whale onto their body and ultimately the last challenge is to commit suicide
