Three Minor Sisters Die by Suicide in Ghaziabad Amid Online Korean Game Addiction Probe
Three minor sisters aged 12, 14, and 16 died by suicide after jumping from the ninth floor of their Ghaziabad apartment in the early hours of February 4. Police investigations suggest the girls were addicted to a task-based online Korean game, which their parents had objected to, leading to familial conflict. The sisters left behind an eight-page suicide note and diary expressing their attachment to the game and apologizing to their parents. Authorities continue probing the circumstances, including the influence of Korean culture and the girls' withdrawal from school.
