About Ghaziabad incident

Police reports reveal that the three sisters were heavily addicted to a Korean online task-based ‘love game’. The incident occurred in the early hours at a high-rise apartment complex. The girls lived with their father, a forex trader, and their mothers. The eldest girl was from his first marriage, while the two younger girls were from his second marriage.

Assistant Police Commissioner Atul Kumar Singh stated that initial investigations suggest the sisters developed a strong obsession with the Korean-themed online game during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This addiction significantly impacted their behaviour, routines, and self-perception. Authorities also noted that the 16-year-old girl, despite her age, was still in 4th grade and all three had reportedly been irregular in attending school.
