41 minors died by suicide in 4 years after internet abuse, says Kerala Chief Minister Vijayan

Answering an unstarred question, Vijayan told the assembly last week that the suicides were reported from 2021 until September 9 this year. This figure was 24 from 2021 to May 2024, which shows the sudden increase in the number of minors taking their own lives after getting trapped in the digital world, the CM said.

Besides this, 30 minors trapped in sexual exploitation and drug abuse due to mobile and internet abuse have been tracked down during the period.
