Ghaziabad Three Sisters’ Suicides: After the deaths of three sisters who jumped from the ninth floor of their residential building last week, the Ghaziabad Police have written to the Uttar Pradesh government recommending a ban on five online gaming applications. The police said that the girls mentioned these games in a suicide note recovered from their home.

Three sisters, who apparently ‘loved Korean more than their family’ and were aged 11, 14, and 16, jumped from the ninth floor of the building at 2 am on February 4 for reasons unknown so far. Girls consumed K-dramas, K-pop and Korean cultural content extensively and spent hours watching similar videos.

“In their suicide note, there is mention of five online gaming apps that the girls were using. We have written to the state authorities to get the apps banned. This recommendation will further be sent from the state to the Centre for taking appropriate steps,” Deputy Commissioner of police (DCP- trans-Hindon zone) Nimish Patil was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

The five games that are named by the Ghaziabad police are Poppy Playtime, The Baby in Yellow, Evil Nun, Ice Cream Man, and Ice Game, the report added.

Ghaziabad Sisters’ Suicide Or Foul Play?

While there have been speculations of foul play, given the facts around the past of the father, who had three wives and a dead live-in partner, who died after falling from a roof in 2015, the police have not found any evidence of foul play so far, and the investigation is still on.
