This special report investigates a tragic incident at Bharat City Society in Ghaziabad, where three sisters aged between 12 and 16 allegedly entered a suicide pact and jumped from the ninth floor of their apartment. The grieving father noted that the children were heavily involved in online gaming and YouTube, stating, ‘Ek mobile tha usi Mein khelti thi’ . The program highlights the ‘silent epidemic’ of digital addiction among children in India, citing recent Economic Survey warnings and similar cases in Bhopal and Lucknow. Eyewitnesses describe the harrowing moments leading up to the jump, while mental health experts emphasize the need for parents to be ’emotionally present’ to create safe spaces for children. The report calls for urgent government regulation of social media and gaming for minors, noting that countries like Australia and Spain have already implemented age-based restrictions to protect vulnerable youth from the dark side of the web.
