9-page Diary, Unfulfilled Wishes and Depression... The Story of Three Sisters from Ghaziabad

In Ghaziabad, India, three minor sisters committed suicide reportedly due to depression exacerbated by their father taking away their mobile phones.

In a tragic incident in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, investigation into the suicide of three underage sisters revealed that they had been feeling depressed after their father confiscated their mobile phones. According to police reports, the sisters had developed a fascination with Korean culture, which their father felt was excessive. As a result, he not only took away their phones but reportedly sold them, leaving the girls cut off from their online games and friends, contributing to their feelings of isolation and despair. Furthermore, they had many dreams that remained unfulfilled due to these restrictions.

On the tragic night of the incident, the sisters attempted to use their mother's phone to access a Korean app, but were unsuccessful as the app could not be accessed on that device. A forensic team that arrived at the scene confiscated mobile phones; however, they found no access to the Korean app in question. Handwritten suicide notes and messages left by the sisters are currently being analyzed by forensic experts, but the report on these findings is still pending.

This incident highlights the severe implications of parental control over children's digital lives and raises important discussions regarding mental health, the pressures young individuals face today, and the need for parents to understand the cultural and social significance of these digital connections in their children's lives. The case has drawn attention not only for its heartbreaking outcome but also for the circumstances leading to such drastic measures taken by the young girls.
