The call for ban by Pakistan police comes after a teenager confessed to killing four members of his family in a rage after bingeing for days playing PUBG.
Pakistani police called Monday for the wildly popular PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) game to be banned after a teenager confessed to killing four members of his family in a rage after bingeing for days playing online.
Police said Ali Zain shot dead his mother, two sisters and a brother on January 18, and claimed under questioning at the weekend that the game had driven him to violence.
"This is not the first incident of its nature," police investigator Imran Kishwar told reporters in the eastern city of Lahore, adding "so we have decided to recommend a ban".
PUBG is an online multiplayer "battle royale" game in which the winner is the last survivor.
