Sisters' Korean awe, father's Rs 2 crore debt: Ghaziabad suicide probe deepens
India Today
The central piece of evidence in the probe into the suicide of three minor sisters in Ghaziabad becomes a nine-page pocket diary recovered by the police, which the sisters described as their 'true life story'.
As investigators delve deeper into the chilling deaths of three minor sisters in Ghaziabad, disturbing details have come to light, with a nine-page pocket diary -- described by the girls as their “true life story” -- emerging as the central piece of evidence. The family’s financial distress including the father's RS 2-core debt and apparent domestic tensions, have also come under scrutiny as key aspects of the ongoing probe.
The tragedy, which has sent shockwaves across the country, unfolded at around 2.15 am on Wednesday when the three sisters -- Nishika (16), Prachi (14), and Pakhi (12) -- jumped from the balcony of their ninth-floor apartment.
An eyewitness residing in the opposite tower told police that the girls were seen sitting on the window ledge moments before they fell together. According to investigators, two of the sisters jumped while holding hands, while the third leapt separately from the window of the prayer room.
Post-mortem findings confirmed that the deaths were caused by shock and haemorrhage resulting from severe head injuries and excessive bleeding due to the fall. No external injuries or signs of prior physical assault were found on their bodies.
Police recovered a one-page suicide note and a nine-page pocket diary from the sisters’ room. The note read, “Mom and Dad, sorry,” and urged the family to read the diary, stating, “Read everything written in this diary because it’s all true.”
The diary repeatedly referred to the girls’ deep attachment to Korean culture. It opened with the lines: “We love Korean, love love love Sorry,” and described itself as their “true life story.”
