A tragic incident has emerged from a village in the Itawa area of Kota district in Rajasthan, India, where a 12-year-old boy was found hanging in his home. The incident occurred around 3:30 PM on Wednesday, and local police have initiated an investigation. According to Assistant Sub-Inspector Kamal Meena, the boy's father reported that he had gone to work nearby while his wife was out harvesting mustard. The two brothers were at home, and shortly after returning with a mobile device, the situation took a dire turn.

Local villagers alerted the father after discovering that his elder son, Lakshya, had hanged himself. Despite immediate medical attention and transport to Itawa Hospital, medical staff declared him dead upon arrival. The father also mentioned that the boy had been undergoing treatment after being bitten by a dog about a month prior. This incident has not only shocked the local community but has also prompted a serious investigation to ascertain the circumstances surrounding the tragedy, particularly focusing on the potential influence of mobile games and social media usage.

Authorities are exploring every angle in this investigation, including the boy’s recent behavior, school environment, and any social pressures he may have experienced. This incident highlights a growing concern in India regarding the mental health impact of excessive screen time and the addictive nature of mobile gaming and social media, especially among young individuals. The case has garnered attention and may provoke discussions about regulations and support mechanisms for parents and children regarding digital consumption and mental health awareness.
