Indian media report that three sisters—12-year-old Pakhi, 14-year-old Prachi and 16-year-old Vaishika—were allegedly obsessed with a Korean online game and had stopped attending school two years ago due to their fixation
GHAZIABAD: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-Feb 4th, 2026) In a tragic incident, three sisters in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, reportedly took their own lives by jumping from the ninth floor of their apartment after being prohibited from playing an online game.
The Indian media reported that three sisters—12-year-old Pakhi, 14-year-old Prachi and 16-year-old Vaishika—were allegedly obsessed with a Korean online game and had stopped attending school two years ago due to their fixation.
The reports indicate that the girls had become so engrossed in the game that they adopted Korean Names for themselves. Concerned about their addiction, their parents banned them from playing, which reportedly prompted the sisters to jump from their apartment during the night.
Upon hearing the fall, the parents rushed to the room and discovered that all three sisters had died.
During the investigation, the police recovered a diary from the girls’ room containing detailed notes about their gaming and mobile activities. The diary included a note in which the sisters wrote: “Read everything written in this diary because it is all true. Papa, sorry. Korea is our life, Korea is our greatest love. Whatever you say, we cannot leave it.”
The incident has sparked concerns about online gaming addiction among teenagers and the need for parental supervision.
The father, speaking to the media, said tearfully: “This should never happen to any parent or child. Parents should monitor the games their children play. I was not aware of this game; otherwise, I would never have allowed them to play.”
