Three sisters died earlier this week after jumping from the ninth floor of their apartment building in Ghaziabad, outside New Delhi, India.
According to heartbreaking reports confirmed by their family, the girls had become “addicted” to an online game and had recently been “denied access” to phones. NDTV say that their deaths have not officially been tied to the game in question, while Press Trust of India (PTI) report that they left behind an eight-page note.
At around 2:15a.m. local time on Wednesday, February 4, authorities responded to calls that “three girls had jumped from the balcony of the ninth floor”.
“Upon reaching the scene, an investigation was conducted, revealing that three girls — Nishika, aged approximately 16 years, Prachi, aged approximately 14 years, and Pakhi, aged approximately 12 years — daughters of Chetan Kumar, had died due to falling on the ground floor,” the police explained in a post on X.
