當地時間2月4日凌晨約2點15分，印度北方邦加濟阿巴德市發生一起震驚社會的人倫悲劇。一戶家庭的三名未成年姊妹，疑似因長期與父親在手機與生活管教問題上發生嚴重衝突，最終從住處九樓陽台跳下身亡。

根據警方與當地媒體報導，三名死者分別為16歲的維希卡（Vishika）、14歲的普拉奇（Prachhi）與12歲的帕琪（Pankhi）。姊妹三人長期對韓國流行文化抱有極端沉迷，平日幾乎所有時間都用手機觀看韓國電影、電視劇、偶像節目與音樂內容，甚至為自己取韓國名字，將其視為自我認同的一部分。這種高度沉浸式的迷戀狀態，已嚴重影響到她們的日常生活與學業，據家屬說法，三人已輟學在家長達兩年。

近期，姊妹三人又沉迷於一款以戀愛互動為主的韓國手機遊戲，使用手機的時間與情緒依賴進一步加劇。父親在多次勸說與管教未果後，數日前決定沒收三人的手機，希望迫使她們回歸正常作息與學習生活。然而，這一舉動卻成為壓垮家庭關係的最後一根稻草。警方研判，三人將父親的行為視為「專制」與對其人生選擇的否定，並因此萌生極端報復念頭。

2月4日凌晨，姊妹三人趁父母熟睡時來到住處陽台，從內側將通往客廳的門反鎖，隨後打開窗戶，先後從九樓躍下。她們墜樓時的尖叫聲驚醒父母，父母驚慌失措地破門衝入陽台，但已無法挽回悲劇的發生。

事發後，一度有消息指出，可能僅有其中一人原本有自殺意圖，其餘兩人是在試圖阻止時不慎墜落。然而，警方在現場找到一本袖珍日記本，內有長達八頁的遺書內容，最終排除了意外墜樓的可能性，確認三人均為有預謀的自殺行為。

遺書中寫道：「爸爸，對不起。韓國是我們的生命，是我們最大的愛，不管你說什麼，我們都不能放棄它。所以我們要自殺。」這段文字被警方視為三人心理狀態與動機的重要證據。此外，警方還在女孩們的臥室牆上發現多行手寫文字，包括「我非常非常孤獨」以及「讓我心碎」，顯示她們長期處於強烈的孤獨感與情緒困境之中。

鄰居在聽到巨響後報警，但救護車在約一小時後才抵達現場，三名女孩早已因傷重不治身亡。事件發生後，在當地社會引發強烈震撼與討論，不少輿論開始反思未成年人長期沉迷網路與娛樂內容、家庭溝通斷裂、心理健康支持缺乏，以及管教方式過於對立所可能帶來的嚴重後果。

警方目前已將案件定性為家庭悲劇引發的集體自殺事件，並呼籲家長在面對青少年沉迷數位內容或次文化時，應及早尋求心理諮商與專業協助，避免單純以強制手段處理，導致無法挽回的結局。

At around 2:15 a.m. local time on February 4, a deeply disturbing family tragedy occurred in Ghaziabad, a city in India’s Uttar Pradesh state. Three underage sisters from the same family reportedly jumped to their deaths from the balcony of their ninth-floor apartment, following prolonged and intense conflict with their father over mobile phone use and household discipline.

According to police and local media reports, the victims were 16-year-old Vishika, 14-year-old Prachhi, and 12-year-old Pankhi. The three sisters had long been extremely obsessed with Korean pop culture. They spent most of their time using their phones to watch Korean films, television dramas, idol programs, and listen to Korean music. They even adopted Korean names for themselves, treating Korean culture as a core part of their personal identity. This level of immersion had severely disrupted their daily lives and education, and family members stated that all three girls had dropped out of school and stayed at home for nearly two years.

Recently, the sisters became deeply engrossed in a Korean romance-themed mobile game, further intensifying their emotional dependence on their phones. After repeated attempts to persuade and discipline them failed, their father confiscated their phones several days prior to the incident, hoping to force them back into a more regular routine and academic life. Police believe this action became the final breaking point in the already strained family relationship. The girls reportedly viewed their father’s decision as “authoritarian” and as a denial of their chosen way of life, which ultimately led them to develop an extreme sense of resentment and a desire for retaliation.

In the early hours of February 4, the sisters went to the apartment’s balcony while their parents were asleep. They locked the door connecting the balcony to the living room from the inside, opened the window, and then jumped from the ninth floor one after another. Their screams as they fell woke their parents, who rushed to break into the balcony in panic, but by then it was already too late to prevent the tragedy.

In the immediate aftermath, some reports suggested that only one of the sisters may have initially intended to commit suicide, while the other two fell accidentally while trying to stop her. However, police later found a small pocket diary at the scene containing eight pages of suicide notes. This discovery ruled out the possibility of an accidental fall and confirmed that all three deaths were the result of a premeditated group suicide.

In the notes, the sisters wrote: “Dad, we are sorry. Korea is our life. Korea is our greatest love. No matter what you say, we cannot give it up. So we are going to commit suicide.” Police regarded this passage as key evidence of the girls’ psychological state and motivation. In addition, handwritten messages were found on the walls of the girls’ bedroom, including phrases such as “I am very, very lonely” and “This breaks my heart” (quoted verbatim), suggesting that they had been living with profound loneliness and emotional distress for a long time.

Neighbors alerted the authorities after hearing loud noises, but the ambulance reportedly did not arrive at the scene until about an hour later. By that time, all three girls had already died from their injuries. The incident sent shockwaves through the local community and sparked widespread public debate, with many questioning the dangers of long-term internet and entertainment addiction among minors, the breakdown of family communication, the lack of mental health support, and the potentially devastating consequences of confrontational or overly forceful parenting methods.

Police have classified the case as a family tragedy resulting in a collective suicide and have urged parents to seek professional psychological counseling and support when dealing with adolescents who are deeply immersed in digital content or subcultures, rather than relying solely on coercive measures that may lead to irreversible outcomes.
