Aditya had returned home on August 27, but instead of spending time outside, he remained fixated on his phone. On the day of the incident, he was seen playing the game at 3:30 AM. Later, unable to sleep, he went up to the rooftop around 4:00 AM and jumped.
Neighbors noted that the rooftop had a three-foot wall, making his leap even more surprising. After his death, the police conducted a post-mortem, and his grieving family blamed his gaming addiction for pushing him to take such an extreme step.
