Onlinerealgames exploits business opportunity in Kasab

In virtual world Kasab "hanged" number of times

PTI | May 19, 2010



22-year-old Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab, sentenced to death in the Mumbai terror attacks case, has been "hanged" a number of times.

A new game, 'Hang kasab', has hit the online gaming market with players visiting the website to send Kasab to the gallows as many times as possible in a given time.

The game available on 'www.onlinerealgames.com' is getting a mixed response in the internet world if one goes by the comments of the gamers.

While some players call it a way of expression of anger others are not so excited about the game. Some of the players even wrote how they felt after hanging Kasab.

"Nice feeling while hanging kasabbbbbbbbbbbbbb..." was what a gamer using the ID of sanjurocks wrote on the website.

"The idea for the game came up when we read about news articles that there is no hangman to hang Kasab. I said why not do it in the virtual world," Maruti Sankar, Managing Director of 7Seas Technologies, which runs the website said.

Sankar said he got inspired by an online game, which was developed after the infamous shoe throwing incident involving former American President George W Bush.

"That game was played by millions. Majority of our users are Indians living in the country and they have all followed Kasab's trial for the last so many months. We are all patriotic and want to do our bit in hanging Kasab," Sankar said.
