Rajkot: In a shocking case, a 12-year-old boy was held for stealing cash worth Rs 3 lakh from his parent’s cupboard in Gujarat’s Kutch district. According to the police, the boy told them that he was stealing the money because he had lost a few PUBG games while playing with his friends, a Times of India report said.
