Moscow: Blue Whale challenge has caused death to many children but know its being revealed that who is behind this game. An unnamed Russian teenager has been accused of heading multiple groups operated under the name of Blue Whale Challenge.
Reports say she is responsible for threatening multiple victims with death if they failed or refused to complete the tasks of the challenge, which end in suicide.
Russian state investigators said the girl, also known as the ‘death group administrator’, was originally a player of the Blue Whale Challenge. However, she did not finish the challenge all the way to suicide, and ended up becoming an ‘admin’ of the game instead.
“This administrator was sending particular tasks, often life-threatening, to each of several dozen members of the group,” a quoted by foreign media to, Russian Interior Ministry.
“In contrast to similar groups, teenagers in this group were blackmailed with death threats against them or their relatives for not completing the tasks,” the official added.
The 17-year-old girl has been accused of setting the 50 tasks of the Blue Whale Challenge to the victims, which ‘create psychologically traumatizing situations’, and end with the victim committing suicide.
The girl was arrested from Russia’s Khabarovsk Krai region. The Blue Whale Challenge’s creator, 22-year-old Philipp Budeikin was arrested in Russia earlier this year and sentenced to three years in prison. But despite him being behind the bars, the challenge continued to claim lives across the world.
With this girl’s arrested, it becomes apparent the game continued to gain traction because of the change of power.
