Three minor sisters tragically died by suicide by jumping from the ninth floor of a building in Ghaziabad. The girls, aged 16, 14, and 12, left a suicide note expressing their inability to live without online Korean games, a fact unbeknownst to their father. The police are investigating the incident to determine the exact cause of the suicide.
Their father, Chetan Kumar, was devastated upon finding the note left by his daughters, which stated their strong attachment to Korean games and their decision to end their lives. He expressed his lack of awareness regarding the games that led to this tragic event and urged parents to monitor their children’s online activities closely to prevent such occurrences.
The authorities were informed about the incident at around 2:15 a.m., where the sisters, Nishika (16), Prachi (14), and Pakhi (12), jumped from the ninth floor of the Bharat City society. Despite being rushed to Loni Hospital, they were declared dead. ACP Atul Kumar confirmed the deaths and mentioned that further investigations are ongoing to shed light on the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
The incident has reignited concerns about the impact of online content and games on minors, highlighting previous cases where children have lost their lives due to dangerous online challenges. The tragic death of a 12-year-old in the UK and a Class 10 student in India due to online game addiction underscores the need for vigilance and parental guidance in monitoring children’s online activities.
