In a tragic incident in Ghaziabad Loni area, three minor sisters aged 12, 14, and 16 took their own lives by jumping from the ninth floor of their apartment building. The local police investigation suggests that the girls were heavily addicted to social media and Korean content. The incident occurred in the Bharat City society on February 4, 2026, after the family restricted their mobile phone access.
What Led to the Extreme Step?
Trans-Hindon DCP Nimish Patil stated that Nishika, Prachi, and Pakhi were deeply influenced by Korean culture and spent significant time on social media. When the parents noticed this addiction, they banned the use of mobile phones a few days before the incident. This restriction reportedly had a severe impact on the girls. A diary found at the scene contained a note where they mentioned their love for Korea and apologized to their father for their decision.
Details of the Police Investigation
The police are currently looking into various aspects beyond the social media angle to understand the full context of the tragedy. While initial reports focused on mobile usage, the investigation has now widened to include the family financial conditions and other personal background details. The post-mortem report confirmed that the cause of death was shock and hemorrhage due to injuries from the fall.
