Ghaziabad Tragedy: 3 Sisters Die by Suicide Over 'Korean Love Game' Addiction

• Three minor sisters, Pakhi (12), Prachi (14), and Vishika (16), died by suicide by jumping from the 9th floor of Bharat City Society in Ghaziabad.
• A suicide note explicitly mentioned addiction to a 'Korean Love Game', a task-based online game inspired by K-pop and virtual dating.
• The family reported a drastic change in the girls' behavior during the Covid-19 pandemic, becoming withdrawn and spending excessive time on phones.
• Experts warn these games manipulate emotions, with tasks escalating from harmless chats to self-harm and ultimately suicide, similar to the 'Blue Whale' challenge.
• Authorities are investigating the specific platform and tasks involved, urging parents to monitor children's online activity and screen time.
