In a heartbreaking incident in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, three minor sisters aged 16, 14, and 12 died by suicide early Wednesday after reportedly jumping from the ninth floor of their apartment in Bharat City Society around 2 a.m. Police suspect the tragedy followed a dispute over the girls’ excessive involvement in an online Korean task-based gaming app, which their parents had recently tried to restrict. A handwritten suicide note found at the scene expressed apology and deep emotional distress linked to their gaming obsession; the sisters were said to have even adopted Korean names and increasingly withdrawn from school and family life. Authorities are investigating mobile data, digital evidence, and family dynamics as they probe the circumstances that led to this tragic loss. (PC: The Hindu)
