Addiction of Online-Gaming has forced a young man to kill his mother to pay the loan in Uttar Pradesh.
According to the police, the accused was addicted to a gaming app named Zupee where repeated losses had prompted him to borrow and keep playing.
After running through the money, Himanshu realised he was in debt of more than Rs 4 lakh. With the creditors breathing down his neck, Himanshu stole his paternal aunt’s jewellery and used the money to buy life insurance policies worth Rs 50 lakh each for his parents.
Additional SP of Fatehpur said after purchasing the policy, he waited for his father to leave the house. One day when his father Roshan Singh went to the Hanuman temple in Chitrakoot, Himanshu seized upon the opportunity and allegedly choked his mother Prabha to death.
After killing his mother he put her body in a jute bag and drove his tractor to the Yamuna rover to dispose it of. His crime was only exposed after the father returned and upon not finding either his wife or son, started making inquiries.
The neighbours informed Roshan that they had last seen Himanshu near the riverbank on a tractor. Subsequently, the police was alerted, leading to the recovery of Prabha’s body on February 21. Soon, Himanshu, who was on the run, was arrested.
The son was on the run after murdering his mother. We caught him and unearthed the sinister crime,” senior police officer Vijay Shankar Mishra said.
During interrogation, Himanshu revealed the entire plot and said his addiction had forced him to take such drastic measure.

What is video game addiction?
Video game addiction, also called internet gaming disorder, is a condition characterized by severely reduced control over gaming habits, resulting in negative consequences in many aspects of your life, including self-care, relationships, school and work.
This condition can include gaming on the internet or any electronic device, but most people who develop significant gaming issues mainly play on the internet.
Whether internet and video gaming addiction should be classified as an addiction or mental illness is debated among researchers. Many researchers consider video game addiction a behavioural addiction similar to gambling disorder, in which the rush of winning becomes one of the main reasons for playing.
Others think this comparison to gambling is flawed because there may not be financial or material losses involved with playing video games. In addition, winning a video game may require cognitive skills and sharp reflexes, while winning at gambling is mainly a matter of chance.
