In a separate case, a 13-year-old PUBG addict named Majid Rehman stole over 70,000 Pakistani Rupees (PKR) from his own home to fuel his PUBG obsession. He used the stolen money to purchase in-game costumes. After three days, the police managed to locate and apprehend the teenager, reuniting him with his family. An FIR was filed in the city police station in Arifwala regarding this incident.

In yet another distressing incident dating back to July 20, a man was arrested for brutally killing his three sisters while under the influence of the PUBG game at Thermal Power Colony.
