Ghaziabad: A soul-shaking example of how deadly the passion for modern technology and online gaming can prove to be was seen in Ghaziabad. Here, three minor sisters from the same family ended their lives by jumping from the ninth floor.
What is the whole matter?
The facts that have come to light in the police’s initial investigation are shocking. These three real sisters, aged 16, 14, and 12, had a severe addiction to online gaming. It is being said that when family members stopped them from playing games and started scolding them, they were hurt to such an extent that they collectively chose the path of death.
Last letter found in the room
Before jumping, the three sisters also left a suicide note in their room. Although the police are currently investigating this note closely, it is clear that their obsession with mobiles and gaming pushed them towards this suicidal step.
The ‘Virtual’ Trap of Death
A very shocking fact has emerged in the investigation that these three sisters were victims of an addiction to an ‘Online Task-Based Korean Lover Game’ on mobile. Such games often hold children hostage psychologically, where they are incited to complete dangerous tasks.
Sequence of events: When screams pierced the silence of the society
According to the police, this horrific step was taken when the whole family was sleeping. As soon as the clock struck two in the night, the three sisters jumped to their deaths together from the 9th floor. The police reached the spot and found that behind this suicidal step was the deep impact of gaming and possibly the restriction imposed on mobile usage by the family members.
A warning for society
This is not just an accident, but a warning for those parents whose children spend hours in front of screens. Experts believe that the virtual pressure of the online world is affecting the mental state of children to such an extent that they are unable to reconcile reality and emotions.
