This was also pushed by PTA due to certain media reports which attributed cases of suicide to PUBG

Pakistan has banned the popular battle royal game player Unknown Battlefields, also known as PUBG. According to a notification issued by the country's telecommunications regulatory body PTA, the country has temporarily banned the game after complaints were raised against the players' health addiction and harm.

The Pakistan Telecommunications Authority said in a Twitter post, "The PTA has received numerous complaints against PUBG alleging that the game is addictive, a waste of time and the physical and mental health of children. Has a very negative effect. "

The Telecom Authority claimed that the new move was taken after receiving several complaints from concerned people. The PTA also pushed it forward due to some media reports which attributed the suicides to the PUBG.

"The esteemed Lahore High Court has also complained to the PTA to look into the matter and decide the matter. A hearing is underway on July 9, 2020," the PTA said in a statement.

Dawn.com reports that a 16-year-old boy committed suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan in his home in the Hanjarwal area on June 24, Dawn.com reported. Police have also confirmed that a boy named Mohammad Zakaria took extreme measures for not fulfilling his duty while playing a fighting game.

Dawn.com quoted SP Operations Ghazanfar Syed of the President's Division as saying, "We found his mobile phone on the bed with PBBG game near his body at that time. We immediately investigated the incident." He summoned the Punjab Forensic Science Agency for further investigation.

PUBG has also been a cause of concern in India, with some reports linking online gaming to serious addiction and, in some cases, suicide.

Depending on the skill, the player is also ranked in a system that starts with a bronze and goes on to a winner. The game is available in different versions for different formats, including mobile, PC and consoles.
