Three Indian sisters who jumped to their deaths after their parents confiscated their phone have been pictured.
Siblings Pakhi, 12, Prachi, 14, and Vishika, 16, gathered at their ninth-floor balcony in Bharat City, Ghaziabad, at around 2.15am on Wednesday before jumping one by one in a tragedy that has rocked the country.
Local reports claimed the girls’ screams were so loud they woke their parents and neighbours. But by the time the parents broke down the door, it was too late.
The devastated mother and father later found an eight-page suicide note in a pocket diary, which included chilling messages about their love of Korea and their beliefs that their parents were attempting to quell their obsession.
‘How will you make us leave Korean? Korean was our life, so how dare you make us leave our life? You didn’t know how much we loved them. Now you have seen the proof. Now we are convinced that Korean and K-Pop are our life,’ the note read.
‘We didn’t love you and family as much as we loved the Korean actor and the K-Pop group. Korean was our life.’ The girls had even taken on Korean names before their deaths – Cindy, Maria, and Aliza.
