A tragic case of a youth’s death while playing an online game has stirred the debate about addiction being detrimental to health. Local reports suggest that the man’s blood pressure spiked, causing a brain haemorrhage. He was later admitted to Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital, where he breathed his last while receiving treatment on Sunday morning (Feb 8). The deceased, identified as Mohammad Kaif, was a resident of the Khairnagar area of Meerut. Kaif had a pre-existing history of high blood pressure.
The 22-year-old used to work with his father, Mohammad Farooq, who is a property dealer. This incident took place when he was in his office and was playing on his phone.
He suddenly collapsed, and that is when people in the office picked him up and rushed him to a nearby nursing home. According to reports, his father stated that Kaif had been managing his blood pressure with regular treatment. Ten years ago, his blood pressure shot up and was extremely high, and since then, he has been undergoing treatment.
