The Blue Whale online game has been notorious for making people in the country fall prey to its fatalities. The game has about 50 destructive tasks before the final task of prompting the user to suicide.

Based on a Public Interest Litigation(PIL) seeking to make the game unavailable, the Supreme Court has today ordered the government to set up a panel to counter such Blue Whale and similar online games.  The panel of experts will then decide on the necessary remedial measures to stop the online game from reaching online users.
