India (HRNW): In a tragic incident in Ghaziabad, three sisters allegedly jumped from the ninth floor of their apartment after their father restricted them from playing an online game. The sisters, aged 12, 14, and 16, reportedly became obsessed with a Korean online game and had stopped attending school two years ago.
The father, Chetan Kumar, stated that he was unaware that the game involved certain “tasks” and first learned of them after the police forensic team examined their mobile phones. He explained that his daughters repeatedly expressed a desire to travel to Korea.
Police received a report around 2:15 AM that the three girls had jumped from the balcony of a ninth-floor apartment in Bharat City, within the jurisdiction of Teela Morh Police Station, Sahibabad. Emergency teams rushed to the scene and found the girls suffered fatal injuries upon hitting the ground floor. They were taken to a hospital in Loni, where doctors declared them dead.
During the investigation, police recovered an eight-page diary detailing the sisters’ gaming and mobile activities.
Chetan Kumar narrated the sequence of events, stating that everyone in the house was asleep, and his wife was resting in an inner room. The girls woke up under the pretext of drinking water, locked the inner door, and jumped from the balcony.
He added that although the girls had mobile phones, he did not immediately pay attention. Later, the phones were found outside the room, and police seized them for investigation.
