The probe into the suicide of a Std VII student from Dadar has led police to believe the death has something to do with the now-banned mobile game Free Fire. While Tirthesh Chetan Khanolkar hanged himself at home on February 13, the Bhoiwada police say he had covered one of his eyes, perhaps to look like a game character, before taking the extreme step. 

The police are talking to expert players to understand better what could have pushed the boy over the edge. They have also recorded the statements of two students who regularly played Free Fire with Tirthesh as part of a squad.
