Ghaziabad Triple Suicide: Sisters Had Social Media Presence With Korean Names and Large Following
The sisters used Korean aliases on a joint social media account that attracted many followers before their father deleted it.
The 3 minor sisters in Ghaziabad’s Bharat City Society had established a social media presence under Korean names and amassed a substantial online following before their tragic deaths, according to police sources and media reports. The girls — Vishika (16), Prachi (14) and Pakhi (12) — were found dead early Wednesday after falling from the ninth floor of their apartment building in a case that has generated intense public and investigative scrutiny.
Police and family accounts indicate the sisters adopted Korean-style identities both online and offline, leading followers on social platforms where they used Korean names that helped grow their audience. Their digital footprint attracted attention from investigators probing potential influences on the girls’ behavior and psychological state in the lead-up to the incident.
Residents reported hearing loud noises in the early hours of Wednesday, after which the bodies were discovered on the premises. First responders confirmed that all three girls died at the scene. A handwritten note, believed to be from the sisters, was recovered near the site and included a brief apology to their father.
Initial inquiry has also focused on the role of online gaming or digital content in the sisters’ lives. Some sources say the girls were deeply engaged with a Korean “task-based” mobile game that allegedly assigned increasingly demanding challenges, a pattern reminiscent of past online phenomena associated with self-harm. Police continue to investigate whether such links are substantiated, though a direct connection to any specific game has not been conclusively established.

The girls reportedly became increasingly withdrawn and ceased attending school over recent years, intensifying their immersion in online culture and content. Family members have spoken of difficulties managing their engagement with these digital platforms, especially after phones were confiscated shortly before the tragedy.
Authorities are examining digital devices, social accounts, and online activity to construct a clearer timeline of the sisters’ final days. The case has sparked broader concerns regarding youth mental health, digital addiction, parental awareness of minors’ online exposure and the psychological impacts of immersive online cultures on vulnerable young people.
