Ghaziabad Police Probe Deaths of Three Sisters After Phone Access Was Curbed

Investigators are examining devices and an eight-page note that cited Korean content and a mobile game as they work to identify the app and assess any link to an online challenge.

Overview

  • The girls, ages 16, 14 and 12, died after falling from the ninth-floor family apartment around 2:15 a.m., according to Uttar Pradesh Police.
  • A diary and note addressed to their parents were recovered at the scene with apologies and references to a Korean-themed game used on their father's phone.
  • The family had recently limited phone use, a restriction police say deeply upset the sisters based on early statements from relatives.
  • Authorities have not identified the game and say the case remains under active investigation with digital forensics and witness interviews underway.
  • Reports indicate heavy screen use since the pandemic and the sisters’ withdrawal from school, prompting renewed calls for closer supervision and mental-health support for adolescents.
