In a devastating incident that has shocked the community of Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, three minor sisters tragically ended their lives by jumping from the ninth-floor balcony of their residential high-rise. The incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday, around 2:00 AM, in the Bharat City complex within the Tilamod police station jurisdiction.
According to law enforcement officials, the deceased have been identified as Nishika (16), Prachi (14), and Pakhi (12), daughters of resident Chetan Kumar. Emergency services transported the sisters to a nearby 50-bed hospital in Loni, where medical professionals pronounced all three deceased upon arrival.
The investigation has taken a disturbing turn with the discovery of a suicide note that contained a heartbreaking apology to their father. The note, written in both English and Hindi, stated: ‘A true life story. Read everything written in this diary, because it is true. Read now! I am really sorry, sorry papa.’
Preliminary reports from Indian media sources suggest the adolescents had developed an addiction to a Korean task-based online game that allegedly presented suicide as its ultimate challenge. The diary recovered from the scene reportedly detailed the sisters’ deep engagement with Korean entertainment, culture, and media.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Atul Kumar Singh confirmed that police received the emergency call at approximately 2:15 AM through the Police Response Vehicle system. Law enforcement authorities are currently conducting thorough investigations, including interviews with family members and comprehensive analysis of the victims’ digital footprints and online activities.
This tragic event follows similar concerning incidents across India, highlighting growing apprehensions about the impact of online content and gaming challenges on adolescent mental health and wellbeing.
