Ghaziabad, Feb 4 (NationPress) Three young sisters tragically lost their lives after allegedly jumping from the ninth floor of a residential complex in Ghaziabad. Authorities have discovered a suicide note in which the girls expressed their inability to live without their online Korean games. Their father remained oblivious to their gaming habits.

The incident took place around 2 a.m. in Bharat City Society. Preliminary reports indicate that the sisters, aged 16, 14, and 12, all jumped together from the ninth floor. The precise motive for their suicide remains unclear, and police are actively investigating the case.

In an emotional reaction, their father, Chetan Kumar, shared with IANS that he was heartbroken after finding a note from his daughters, which contained a poignant message: "Sorry, Papa...we cannot leave Korea. Korea is our life, and you can't make us leave it. That's why we are committing suicide."

Kumar was unaware of the specific games his daughters were engaged with and questioned if these games had compelled them to undertake dangerous tasks.

"This is truly tragic. I advise all parents to monitor their children's gaming activities. We never know what kind of challenges they might face... We were oblivious to this. Had they communicated the nature of these tasks, perhaps this tragedy could have been avoided... We were not informed about the games they were playing," he mentioned to IANS.

According to ACP Atul Kumar, "We received information around 2:15 a.m. that three girls from the Bharat City society had jumped from the balcony. Nishika (16), Prachi (14), and Pakhi (12), daughters of Chetan Kumar, died after jumping off from the ninth floor. They were taken to Loni Hospital, where they were pronounced dead."

The investigation is ongoing.

This incident has reignited discussions surrounding the impact of online content and gaming on minors. Just last year, a 12-year-old boy in the UK tragically died after trying to replicate a hanging scene from the Netflix series 'Squid Game' during a prank. Sebastian Cizman was found deceased at his home in Glasshoughton, West Yorkshire, while his younger brother was celebrating his First Holy Communion.

An inquest revealed that Sebastian, known for his playful nature, had been spending time in the garden with his cousins before returning indoors, claiming he was tired. It is believed he was attempting a perilous online challenge that involved self-strangulation until unconsciousness, a trend linked to numerous child fatalities worldwide.

In a separate incident, in August 2025, a Class 10 student took his own life after his parents confiscated his phone due to his addiction to the widely popular online game 'PUBG' in Nirmal district, Telangana.
