India probes suspected suicide of 3 sisters amid social media ban debate

Local media reported the sisters, aged 12, 14 and 16, had jumped from their home on Wednesday in the city of Ghaziabad on the outskirts of the country’s capital.

“[An] investigation is under way based on the suicide note and their phones,” Nimish Patil, a senior police official, said on Thursday.

Police in India routinely investigate the factors leading up to suspected suicides.

The sisters had been “denied access” to K-pop music and Korean games and films that they had previously played and watched online.
