Ghaziabad Triple Suicide: Death Note Omits Mother, Korean Obsession Detailed
In a tragic incident that has shocked the nation, three minor sisters leaped to their deaths from their ninth-floor apartment in Ghaziabad's Bharat City society. The investigation has uncovered a complex family life and a disturbing eight-page suicide note that notably omits any mention of the girls' mother or mothers.
Family Structure and Previous Tragedy
The sisters lived with their father, Chetan Kumar, who has three wives—Sujata, Heena, and Tina—all biological sisters. Each wife is mother to different children in the household. Police revealed that Kumar's live-in partner died in 2015 after falling from a roof, a case dismissed as suicide. Kumar, a stockbroker, was reportedly under significant financial debt.
The Korean Cultural Obsession
The suicide diary reveals the sisters' deep immersion in Korean popular culture. They wrote extensively about K-pop music, television dramas, and BL (boy love) content, stating that "Korean is our life." Their father claimed they wanted the family to accept Korean culture and became withdrawn when refused.
Neighbors reported unusual behavior, with one girl claiming they were "from Korea" months earlier. The diary contains angry passages directed at their father for opposing their interests, including one line reading, "How did you even dare to take this from us?" referring to when Kumar allegedly took away and sold an elder daughter's mobile phone.
Isolation and Family Conflicts
Police confirmed the girls had not attended school since the COVID-19 pandemic and were not homeschooled. They did not interact with other children in the society. Writings on their room walls expressed profound loneliness: "I am very, very alone" and "My life is very very alone."
The diary lists 19 things their parents disapproved of, including entertainment from multiple countries. It also mentions tensions involving their four-year-old half-sister Devu, whom they wanted to introduce to Korean culture but whose parents encouraged Bollywood films instead.
Disturbing References to Violence
One particularly alarming passage reads: "Did we live in this world to get beaten by you? Death would be better for us than beatings." The diary references physical punishment but does not clearly identify who inflicted it. Another passage mentions marriage causing "tension in our hearts" without providing details.
Parental Responses and Public Reaction
Chetan Kumar initially appealed to parents to prevent children from becoming too attached to games and content. When questioned about his multiple marriages and deceased partner, he refused to comment. The Uttar Pradesh State Women's Commission chairperson emphasized the need for parental involvement and monitoring of online activities.
Public reaction has been mixed, with some parents criticizing what they call "irresponsible parenting" for not sending children to school for years and providing smartphones, while others urge waiting for the investigation to conclude.
Unanswered Questions
As the investigation continues, several critical questions remain unanswered. What role did the complex household structure play in the sisters' emotional state? Who were they referring to in the passages about beatings? Was their intense attachment to Korean culture a form of escapism, identity formation, or a response to home stress?
The police are examining the diary and room evidence, hoping to piece together the complete story behind this heartbreaking tragedy that has left a community in mourning and a nation searching for answers.
