MP News: PUBG-Addicted Man Kills Wife After She Asks Him To Stop Gaming & Focus On Finding Job In Rewa

Rewa (Madhya Pradesh): A PUBG-addicted man allegedly killed his wife after she asked him to stop playing the game and focus on getting a job in Madhya Pradesh's Rewa on Wednesday. Police said that the accused confessed murdering his wife to a relative, however other details about the murder are yet to be determined.

The victim, Neha Patel, got married to Ranjeet Patel only six months ago on May 5, 2025.

Neha repeatedly urged him to balance his time and think about work, but these conversations regularly turned into fights.

The incident took place in Rewa’s Gurh area, raising serious questions after her family claimed she was killed for asking her husband to stop his excessive PUBG gaming and focus on getting a job.

According to her family, the couple often argued because Ranjeet spent long hours playing PUBG.

Family members say the final dispute occurred when Neha again told Ranjeet to reduce his gaming habit. They allege that Ranjeet lost control during the argument and killed her.

After the incident, he reportedly called a relative to confess what had happened and then fled from the house.

Relatives also claim that there were continuous dowry demands from Ranjeet’s side, which added more stress to the marriage and worsened the situation between the couple.

Police have begun an investigation and are searching for the accused husband.

The case has highlighted growing concerns about gaming addiction, domestic violence, and dowry pressure in the region.
