Father’s Lies About Third Wife Surface Amid Probe, How Does 2015 Suicide Case Link To Recent Deaths ?

February 9, 2026

Ghaziabad : The investigation into the deaths of three minor sisters who jumped from the ninth floor of a high-rise in Ghaziabad is getting murkier, with police uncovering contradictions in their father’s statements. Police say new details are emerging about the girls’ father, Chetan Kumar, his three marriages, shifting statements, money troubles and the life the children were living behind closed doors.

According to police sources, the two later grew close and Chetan married her, making Tina his third wife. Tina is believed to be around 22 years old and has a three-year-old daughter with him. What has puzzled investigators is that Chetan had earlier told police that Tina was not his wife but his sister-in-law. This contradiction has now become a key part of the probe. Chetan has admitted that he married Sujata in 2010 and Hina in 2013. But police say the timeline raises questions.

Another detail that has drawn police attention is the family’s living arrangement. Despite living in a three-bedroom flat, the entire family slept in a single room. When asked how the three girls managed to leave the room late at night without anyone noticing, Chetan reportedly told police that it was part of their usual routine. Investigators say this explanation has raised more questions than it has answered.

Police questioning has also revealed that the girls had not gone to school for several years. The family has blamed financial hardship for stopping their education. Officers are now trying to find out which schools the girls attended earlier, how much they studied and what led them to drop out. Police will also check claims that the girls were weak in their studies or failing repeatedly.

The phones are missing, and police are attempting to trace them through IMEI numbers. Officials say data recovery may be difficult if the devices were formatted, but all technical options are being explored. Police say the deaths are being examined in the context of a troubled home, financial strain, broken family relationships, children out of school and growing mental pressure.
