The diary recovered from the Ghaziabad triple suicide case has shed light on the mindset of the three sisters who died after jumping from the ninth floor of their apartment in Bharat City. Investigators say the handwritten note indicates an intense emotional attachment to Korean culture that the girls believed was being taken away from them.
`
The sisters — Pakhi (12), Prachi (14), and Vishika (16) — died in the early hours of Wednesday, an incident that has renewed debate around unsupervised mobile phone use, online gaming, and psychological vulnerability among minors.
An eight-page pocket diary was found by the parents after the deaths. In it, the girls repeatedly expressed their devotion to Korean actors, K-Pop groups, and related content, while accusing their parents of trying to separate them from what they described as their “life”.
“We love Korean, love, love, love,” the diary reads.
Another entry states: “How will you make us leave Korean? Korean was our life… We didn’t love you and family as much as we loved the Korean actor and the K-Pop group.”

The note claims the girls felt misunderstood and emotionally isolated due to repeated objections to their interests.
Restrictions on mobile phones mentioned
An official earlier confirmed that the girls’ father had recently imposed restrictions on their mobile phone usage. The diary suggests this intervention became a major source of distress for the sisters.
In subsequent pages, the girls listed other cultural influences they were drawn to, including Thai, Chinese, and Japanese music and films. Hollywood content and English songs were also mentioned, alongside animated characters such as Doraemon, Peppa Pig, Elsa, and Ariel.
The diary also refers to several horror and survival games, including Poppy Playtime, The Baby in Yellow, Evil Game, and Ice Cream Man Game. Investigators are examining whether exposure to such content played a role in the incident.
Police are also probing references to a so-called “Korean love game”, which the girls reportedly began following during the COVID-19 pandemic. The game allegedly involved tasks, with the final step believed to be dying by suicide. Officials have not confirmed the game’s origin but say the angle is under investigation.
Family conflict and sibling alienation described
The diary includes references to another sister, identified as “Devu”, whom the girls said they wanted to introduce to their interests. They alleged that their parents instead encouraged her exposure to Bollywood, which they wrote they strongly disliked.
According to the note, this disagreement led the sisters to emotionally distance themselves from her.
“We told her that we are Korean and K-Pop, and you are Indian and Bollywood,” the diary states.
The girls also wrote that they did not want to marry Indian men in the future and expressed resentment over being told otherwise.
Sequence of events on the night of the incident
Police said the three sisters locked themselves inside their room and jumped from the balcony window one after another at around 2:15 am. The sound alerted residents and security personnel, who rushed to the spot.
By the time family members broke into the room, all three had already jumped. They were taken to a hospital in Loni, where doctors declared them dead.
The investigation remains ongoing.
