20 year old died after consuming chemical instead of water while playing PUBG mobile game

A
20-year-old, who was engrossed in playing the PUBG Mobile game, died when he
mistakenly consumed a jewellery-polishing chemical instead of water while
travelling in a train.

According to
the Agra Cantonment Government Railway Police (GRP), the deceased has been
identified as Saurabh Yadav who was travelling with his friend Santosh Sharma
who is an ornament-dealer.

Sharma had a
chemical in his bag which he used to polish jewellery. The two men had a common
bag and Santosh was travelling to Agra in connection with his ornament
polishing business, said Vijay Singh, in-charge GRP station, Agra Cantt railway
station, in a public statement.

 “According to Santosh, the deceased was
busy playing PUBG on his mobile phone while travelling. Reportedly, he was so indulged
in the game that instead of taking out the water bottle, he mistakenly took out
the bottle of chemical and drank from it without checking,” Singh said.

He added
that the liquid consumed by Yadav is used in cleaning and polishing ornaments.
Police added that Yadav’s health quickly became worse and he finally collapsed
near Morena a place between Agra and Gwalior.

 He was dead by the time the train reached the
railway station. “The post-mortem report is awaited to get better clarity
in the matter,” Singh said.
