Paras Official, a well known content creator from BGMI community, was recently beaten after he raised the topic of using illegitimate ways to gain popularity rating in Battlegrounds Mobile India. According to a short video released online, he was assaulted by 7 to 8 men that entered his residence and thrashed him with rods and other objects.
Paras Official has recently reached 800,000 subscriber count on YouTube and recently, he had voiced his opinions against the use of carding to gain popularity rating in BGMI. The popularity rating has its own ranking system where players that have the highest popularity can have a higher rank.
Popularity rating can be gained by getting gifts from other accounts and according to Paras, players were using an illegal method called carding to gift themselves a large sum of popularity rating via available gifting options.
After this video was released, he faced some backlash from one of the highly ranking players called “Daku” and they had a banter.
Apparently, this banter turned into violence as Paras was thrashed in his own house by 7 to 8 men. He named “Daku” as one of the perpetrators but the alleged culprit has shrugged off these allegations saying that he would never opt for violence over a trivial matter such as popularity rating.
Paras described the incident as a horrific one and the video shows his injuries with a broken nose and fractured hand. He said that some men visited his residence early in the morning and called out his name. His mother opened the door thinking that they were some of his friends but the mob pushed away his mother and went to his room.
They began beating Paras with some objects such as sticks and one of them was recording the whole incident. Paras had asked the reason for their action multiple times but was left unanswered until the end of this horrific incident.
Indian esports and gaming community is growing right now and has an audience of millions. If violence is used as a method to settle the differences or to mute the protesting voices, it will impact the audience in a severely negative way.
