Ghaziabad : The father in the Ghaziabad triple suicide case is in deep financial crisis, having a debt of Rs 2 crore. The sisters, aged 16, 14 and 12, died by suicide by jumping from the ninth floor of their residential building. In a diary that they left behind, they mentioned their love for Korean culture, K-Pop music, Korean drama and Korean films.
Chetan Kumar recently sold his phone and used the money to recharge the electricity of his home. Kumar admitted his financial distress and said he recently suffered a loss of Rs 20–30 lakh. He works in the online trading sector. Yes, I had a loss of Rs 20–30 lakh. But how does that justify my children dying by suicide?” the distraught father asked, adding that his three minor daughters were so addicted to the Korean culture that they had changed their names.
Upon learning of the same, 10 days ago, Kumar deleted the account and confiscated their phone. He said that his daughters had begun following Korean entertainment three years before and told him that “they would die if they didn’t get Korean”. A suicide note was found, wherein the sisters apologised to their father and asked him to read a diary that carried all answers.
There were also scribbles on the wall, which read, “My life is very, very alone. Chetan Kumar is left with two surviving children, whom he shared along with the victims, from two marriages. The entire family lived together in the same house in Ghaziabad, with both his wives being sisters. He married his first wife’s sibling after the former failed to conceive initially.
