Ghaziabad: The shocking suicide of three minor sisters in Ghaziabad has taken a disturbing turn as new details reveal the extent of their alleged obsession with Korean dramas and online gaming. The incident, which occurred in Bharat City Society under the Tila Mor police station area, has left residents and authorities stunned.
The victims—Nishika, Prachi and Pakhi—reportedly jumped from the ninth floor of their residential building. According to family members and the suicide note recovered by police, the sisters were deeply addicted to Korean content, including dramas and online games, to the extent that they had emotionally disconnected from their family and the outside world.
‘They Started Believing They Were Korean’
The girls’ father, Chetan Kumar, claimed that his daughters were so heavily influenced by Korean culture that they began identifying themselves as Korean. He stated that they even changed their names and started living in a self-created world.
“They were so obsessed with Korean dramas and culture that they started calling themselves Maria, Eliza and Cindy,” he said.
The father also alleged that the sisters had adopted Korean-style clothing and lifestyle patterns, keeping distance from their family and speaking mostly among themselves.
Sisters Did Not Attend School
According to sources, the three sisters were not attending school. Instead, a private tutor was hired to teach them at home. However, even the tutor reportedly found their behaviour unusual and difficult to handle.
Family members claimed that the tutor eventually refused to continue teaching them, saying that the girls insisted on being taught in the Korean language.
Tutor Allegedly Humiliated
The tutor reportedly told the family that the sisters repeatedly demanded Korean language lessons. When the tutor explained that she did not know Korean, the girls allegedly mocked and insulted her.
Unable to manage their behaviour, the tutor reportedly folded her hands and requested the father to stop the tuition classes, leaving the family even more helpless.
Father Issues Warning to Parents
The father said he had no idea that a mobile addiction could destroy his family so completely. He appealed to all parents to monitor their children’s screen time and online activities.
“I never imagined that a game addiction would ruin my home. If I had even a slight idea, I would have controlled the situation in time,” he said.
He urged parents to keep strict watch on children’s mobile phone usage, calling it a serious threat.
Actor Sonu Sood Reacts
Bollywood actor Sonu Sood also expressed grief over the incident and called it a case of “digital addiction.” In a social media post, he wrote that the girls did not die due to poverty or violence, but because of uncontrolled digital obsession.
He further demanded stricter regulation and even a ban on online gaming for children, warning that such addiction is becoming a silent killer in society.
A Growing Concern
The Ghaziabad incident has triggered nationwide discussion on the mental health impact of digital addiction, especially among minors. Experts believe such extreme obsession with virtual content can isolate children emotionally and psychologically, leading to severe behavioural changes.
Police continue to investigate the matter, while the tragedy has become a harsh reminder of the urgent need for awareness, counselling, and parental supervision in the digital age.
