Ghaziabad Tragedy: Three Sisters' Death Linked to Korean Culture Influence in Suicide Note
In a heartbreaking incident that has shocked the community, three minor sisters allegedly jumped from the balcony of their ninth-floor apartment in Ghaziabad early Wednesday. Police have recovered a suicide note that points to the influence of Korean culture, as investigators intensify their probe into the role of mobile phone addiction and online gaming.
Police Investigation Uncovers Disturbing Details
According to preliminary information from the Ghaziabad police, the minors were known to play an online task-based game. Nimish Patil, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Trans-Hindon, stated that the three girls, who died after jumping from the ninth floor of their residential building, were clearly influenced by Korean culture. DCP Patil confirmed that a suicide note was found at the residence, which clarified this influence, though no specific game application was named in the note.
"In the early hours of 4th February, we received information that three girls jumped from a building. They were declared dead at the hospital. We have found a suicide note in the case. From the suicide note, it is clear that the three girls were influenced by Korean culture. No particular app was named. At the time of the incident, the whole family was present in the house, but they were sleeping..." he said.
Suicide Note Details and Family Background
The incident occurred late at night after other family members had gone to sleep. According to reports, the three sisters left behind an eight-page note in a pocket diary, in which they apologized to their parents and described their gaming activities. Written in Hinglish, the note urged their parents to read the diary in full, stressing that everything written was true.
"Is diary me jo kuch bhi likha hai vo sab padh lo kyunki ye sab sach hai. (Read everything written in this diary because it’s the truth). Read now! I’m really sorry. Sorry, Papa," the note said. During the investigation, police recovered a diary from the girls' stationery containing material related to the incident.
The deceased minors have been identified as Nishika (16), Prachi (14), and Pakhi (12), daughters of Ghaziabad resident Chetan Kumar. The police noted that the family had five siblings—four sisters and a brother—and the father had married twice, with all family members living together.
"We can't leave Korea. Korea is our life. You can't free us. We are ending our lives," their suicide note mentioned, as reported by the minors' father.
Eyewitness Account and Tragic Outcome
An eyewitness, Arun Kumar, told ANI that he saw the girls jump from the building, and it seemed like one of them planned the jump while the others were trying to save her.
"I saw all three of them jumping. It was so sudden, it occurred before I could have done anything or called anyone. They were sitting on the balcony glass... It was abnormal. It happened at around 2 AM... From what I saw, one of them planned to jump, and the others fell while trying to save her. I called the police and the ambulance..." he said.
The tragedy occurred around 2:15 a.m. in the Loni area under the Tila Mod police station limits. The girls were rushed to a 50-bed hospital immediately after the incident, where doctors declared them dead. Police are investigating the exact circumstances that led the sisters to take this extreme step and are recording statements from family members.
