A woman from Assam allegedly became so addicted to PUBG that she abandoned her husband and child, eloping with an online lover. Read the shocking details of this extreme case of gaming addiction.
Online gaming addiction. The term haunts players and their families, yet what happens when it shatters a home completely? Imagine waking up one day and turning over to your wife, only to see the body beside you was made of towels. In an instant his life fell apart, his wife had vanished into thin air along with his child and their entire life savings. Sounds like something out of a horror movie, right? Well for Jeherul Ali, a resident of Gogmalacha in Assam, this nightmare became his reality.
How BGMI Took Over Her Life
Like all gamers, it started with playing the game for a few hours before it tumbled into dedicated gaming sessions, which in turn soon became a compulsion. Ali's wife had now become obsessed with BGMI, playing for hours, skipping household chores and even neglecting family meals. What seemed like a casual hobby quickly spiraled into an addiction which no amount of fights could solve.
However, perhaps the real addiction came when she developed feelings towards a player from West Bengal and as their bond grew stronger- her attachment to her real-life family weakened in turn.
How Ali’s Wife Left
On Tuesday night, Ali's wife decided that she was going to leave. She pretended to be asleep beside her husband and created a fake visage of herself using pillows and a doll to make it look like she was sleeping. In the early hours, she slipped away with her lover - taking her daughter, their savings of ₹1.5 lakh and money from a Bandhan Bank loan!
By the time Ali woke up, she was long gone and he was left with a stinging sensation of betrayal.
The Police Complaint
Confused and in shock, Ali rushed to Rangia police station and filed a formal complaint. This incident brings forward the dangers of gaming addiction and how every action you make may have an impact on your own family. Gaming is a great tool to escape your reality, however make sure that in the process- you don’t lose yourself too. Do you think this was an extreme case of gaming addiction?
