It is being claimed that the game poses a threat to the studies of teenagers and their careers as it is quite addictive. It can be dangerous, thus the authorities have decided to ban it.

But unlike in India, in Nepal, there were no reports of violent incidents linked to the game. According to the chief of the Metropolitan Crime Division, Dhiraj Pratap Singh parents issued many complaints regarding the dangerous effects of the game.

A teenager in Mumbai committed suicide because he was not given a new smartphone to play PUBG. Similar suicide incident occurred in India after a 16-year old was punished for failing in exam for excessively playing PUBG.
