3 girls jump off Ghaziabad building, were addicted to Korean mobile game

A quiet residential tower in Ghaziabad turned into the site of an unspeakable tragedy in the early hours of the morning. The deaths of three minor sisters by suicide at the Bharat City Society have drawn renewed attention to a disturbing category of online, task-based games that experts say are designed to emotionally manipulate children.

A suicide note recovered from the family’s apartment explicitly referred to a “Korean Love Game“, prompting investigators and child safety specialists to examine how such virtual platforms operate and why they pose a serious risk to minors. Addressed to their parents, the suicide note read, “Mom and Dad, sorry… now you will know how much we loved the game – the Korean Love Game".

It was around 2 am on Wednesday morning when three sisters, Pakhi (12), Prachi (14) and Vishika (16), walked hand in hand to the balcony and jumped from the 9th floor of their building. Their screams shattered the silence of the night. By morning, the entire neighbourhood was in shock.
