Ghaziabad Sisters’ Death Case: New information has come to light in the investigation into the suspected suicide of three minor sisters in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad. Police have revealed that the girls were living under intense emotional stress linked to family issues, financial hardship, and restrictions placed on their access to mobile phones and online content.
The girls’ father, Chetan Kumar, is married to three women Sujata, Heena, and Tina who are biological sisters. Sujata is the mother of the eldest daughter, Nishika, while Heena is the mother of the younger two girls, Prachi and Pakhi.
According to police officials, the suicide note left behind by the sisters mentions only their father. The note does not refer to their mothers, suggesting that the girls were emotionally closer to him.

Chetan Kumar, who works as a stock broker, was reportedly under a debt burden of around ₹2 crore and was struggling to manage household expenses.
