Ghaziabad Triple Suicide: Disturbing Details Emerge as Father Married to Three Sisters
The tragic suicide of three minor sisters in Ghaziabad has unveiled a harrowing family situation, with police investigations revealing that the girls' father is married to three biological sisters. The incident, which occurred on February 4, 2026, has sent shockwaves through the community, highlighting the devastating impact of digital deprivation and complex domestic dynamics.
Phone Confiscation and Korean Culture Obsession
According to the Ghaziabad police, the sisters—Nishika (16), Prachi (14), and Pakhi (12)—were deeply immersed in Korean culture, frequently engaging with online task-based games and communicating with Korean friends via their mobile phones. Their father, Chetan Kumar, confiscated the devices after observing their obsessive behavior, effectively severing their primary source of entertainment and social interaction.
The police reported that the minors could not play online games or talk to their Korean friends after their phones were taken away. Kumar later sold the phones, exacerbating the girls' distress. On the night of the incident, the teenagers attempted to use their mother's phone but were unable to access the Korean app, leading to further frustration.
Polygamous Family Structure Revealed
Interrogations have confirmed that Chetan Kumar has three wives: Sujata (mother of Nishika), Heena (mother of Prachi and Pakhi), and Tina. All three women are biological sisters, adding a layer of complexity to the family's background. This polygamous arrangement, while legally contentious, has been a focal point of the investigation.
Police also noted a prior incident in 2015, where Kumar's live-in partner died under suspicious circumstances after falling from a roof in Sahibabad. The case was dismissed as a suicide at the time, but it has resurfaced in light of the recent tragedy.
Suicide Note and Forensic Analysis
A suicide note found at the residence indicated that the sisters were influenced by Korean culture, though it did not specify any particular game application. The note was addressed solely to their father, with no mention of their mothers, reflecting their stronger attachment to him. Fingerprints and handwritten messages have been sent to the forensic science laboratory, with results pending.
DCP Nimish Patil of the Trans Hindon police station stated that cyber crime teams are actively tracking the sold phones using IMEI numbers to recover data linked to Korean apps. The investigation is progressing on multiple fronts, including the recovery of digital evidence and analysis of the family's history.
Community Impact and Aftermath
The incident has left the local community in Ghaziabad reeling, with the park adjacent to the site seeing a significant drop in visitors, especially women and children. The three sisters were cremated at Delhi's Nigam Bodh Ghat on February 4, 2026, marking a somber end to a case that underscores the critical need for mental health awareness and responsible digital parenting.
As police await forensic reports and continue their probe, this tragedy serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by minors in increasingly digital and complex family environments.
