Rs. 1.6 million is spent on PUBG mobile by Pakistani Youth
A young Punjabian boy spent Rs. 1.6 million for mobile applications on PUBG. The seventeen-year-old used the account of his parents to buy cosmetics, combat passes, munitions and other items on the spot.
The funds that the boy used were, according to the parents, used as savings in medical expenses for the father. This was long ignored by parents, since the boy said that during the lock-down he used a smartphone for online lessons.
The majority of the money was spent within one month and it was quite easy for the boy because only smart phones saved transactions and other details.
The boy would continue to delete transaction information from messages and change between different bank accounts to prevent them from being exhausted.
The parents learned only about each account when they received bank statements. The boy also emptied the provisionary fund and his own account of his mother.
The father said:
After we received details from the bank, I found that on several occasions, he shuffled amounts from one bank to another to avoid nil balance. He was using his mother’s phone for quite some time and she was not vigilant enough to notice this.
The father gave him a job at a repair shop for the boy to teach him a lesson so that he could earn his living. He said he wouldn't let his kid sit idle to study anymore.
I just can’t let him sit idle at home and cannot give him a mobile phone even for studying. He is working at a scooter repair shop until he realises how hard it is to earn money. I am hopeless now as the money was saved for my son’s future.
