Indore: A child here died of a snake bite while he was busy playing the mobile game 'Free Fire'. The incident was reported from the limits of the Chandan Nagar police station where a young child was so engrossed in playing the game that he did not realise he was bitten by a snake until he fell unconscious. As informed by the relatives of the deceased, the child was, too, young and accompanied his parents to a brick kiln where they worked as daily wage workers. The child, despite being young, was extremely fond of mobile games. To keep him engaged, his parents gave the mobile to him while they were busy working.
