Three minor sisters jump from building after parents restrict online gaming in Uttar Pradesh.
Ghaziabad, India – Web Desk: A tragic incident shook Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, as three minor sisters—12-year-old Pakhi, 14-year-old Prachi, and 16-year-old Vaishika—took their lives by jumping from a residential building after being restricted from playing an online Korean game.
Reports indicate the sisters had adopted Korean names for themselves and had stopped attending school nearly two years ago due to their obsession with the game. Parents had recently imposed restrictions on mobile usage and online gaming, which triggered the fatal act.
Police recovered a diary from the sisters’ room documenting their gaming habits and a note apologizing to their father while expressing their unwillingness to abandon the game and Korean culture. Authorities have launched a detailed investigation into the incident.
Experts emphasize that parents and educational institutions must monitor the psychological impacts of excessive online gaming and mobile usage on children and teenagers.
