An Indian family in Ghaziabad, India, is devastated after their three daughters died by suicide, jumping from their balcony after their parents confiscated their mobile phones. The incident occurred on Wednesday morning. Television reports showed the girls' bodies on the ground as their mother cried and a crowd of shocked neighbors watched the scene. Footage revealed writings on the walls of their bedroom, including: 'I am very lonely' and 'You made me broken'. Interestingly, the girls had taken on Korean names before their deaths—Cindy, Maria, and Eliza. A local official had previously stated that their father had recently imposed restrictions on the girls' phone use. It was also reported that they were avid video gamers. In an eight-page suicide note found by their parents, the girls claimed they wanted to instill the same hobbies in their youngest sister, Divo, but their parents refused. The note read: 'You introduced her to Bollywood, which we hated more than our lives'. It was later reported that two of the sisters may have accidentally fallen while trying to stop the third. According to Indian media, it is believed that the younger sisters were obsessed with a Korean game called 'We Are Not Indian' during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the note, the girls wrote: 'How can you force us to leave Korea? Korea was our life, how dare you force us to leave our life? You didn't know how much we loved them. And now you see the proof'. The note continued: 'We are now sure that Korean culture and K-pop music are our life'. The game is believed to have given users various tasks, the last one being suicide.
