- Three teenage sisters in Ghaziabad, India, ended their lives after their father took away their phones. Their suicide note revealed a haunting obsession with Korean culture.
- “Papa, Korea is our life.” The heartbreaking final words of three Indian sisters who jumped from a ninth-floor balcony after their phones were confiscated.
- In a chilling case from Ghaziabad, three sisters aged 12 to 16 leapt to their deaths following a dispute over phone use, reflecting growing concerns over youth digital dependency and K-culture addiction.
The silence of Bharat City in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India, was shattered in the early hours of Wednesday (Feb. 4, 2026) by a horrifying scream. At around 2:15 a.m. local time, a loud thud echoed through the apartment complex, leaving residents in shock.
According to NDTV, under the dim glow of the streetlights, three sisters — Pakhi (12), Prachi (14), and Vishika (16) — were found lifeless on the ground after jumping from the balcony of their ninth-floor apartment. What drove them to this extreme act was something that many might consider trivial, yet it was their whole world: their mobile phones had been confiscated by their father.
These three girls were not merely siblings; they were described as “one soul in three bodies.” Reports indicated that they did everything together — eating, playing, even bathing. Yet, their bond also extended into an obsession that ultimately turned tragic.
The sisters were said to have developed a deep infatuation with Korean culture, to the point of dangerous addiction. Their passion for Korean music, movies, and dramas led them to adopt Korean names and gradually withdraw from the real world. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, their phones became their only window to this fantasy world. Eventually, they stopped attending school, cutting off social ties entirely two years ago.
Inside their now-empty room, police found traces of profound despair scribbled across the walls — haunting messages such as “I am so, so lonely” and “Turn me into a broken heart.”
Before jumping, the girls locked the balcony door from outside to prevent anyone from stopping them. One by one, they leaped into the dark night. Police later discovered an eight-page handwritten suicide note in a small diary, filled with teardrop emojis drawn by hand.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Atul Kumar Singh confirmed the tragedy. “When we arrived at the scene, we found that three girls, daughters of Chetan Kumar, had died after jumping from the building,” he said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Nimish Patel stated that the recent restriction on phone use appeared to be the main trigger. The suicide note reflected the depth of their obsession. At one point, they wrote, “Read everything in this diary because everything is true. Read it now. I am truly sorry. Sorry, Papa.”
Through tears, their grieving father, Chetan Kumar, later recounted the final words of his daughters — a chilling reflection of their devotion to Korean culture. “They said, ‘Papa, we’re sorry. Korea is our life, Korea is our greatest love. No matter what you say, we can’t give it up. So we’re ending our lives,’” he said brokenly.
Now facing the unimaginable pain of losing three daughters at once, Kumar could only muster one plea to other parents: “This must never happen to anyone else — neither parents nor children.”
In their final message, the girls seemed to make one last declaration of love. “Papa tried to keep us away from Koreans, but now Papa knows how much we love them,” their note read.
