Final stage of Blue Whale Challenge said Gujarat boy before jumping of a bridge

He posted a video in which he said that this was a final task he was performing in the Blue Whale Challenge.

Ashok Mulana from Gujarat killed himself before posting a video on Facebook in which he said he was completing the Blue Whale Challenge.

 Final stage of Blue Whale Challenge

The victim in Gujarat was identified as Ashok Maluna, who jumped off a bridge into the Sabarmati river on Friday shortly after posting a video on Facebook in which he said the step was him completing the Blue Whale Challenge.

The Blue Whale Challenge requires participants to complete a number of tasks within a 50-day period. The tasks become increasingly harmful through self-mutilation, and the final step is suicide.

Police in Gujarat said the suicide victim, Maluna, shot a video in which he said, "this is final stage of my Blue Whale Challenge and now I am going to commit suicide".
In the video, Maluna, in his early twenties, said that he stole Rs 40,000 from home and he, along with a friend, had gone to Mumbai to commit suicide. Due to heavy rain, he said, they couldn't complete their task.
