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.
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.
