Three minor sisters died after jumping from the ninth floor of their residential building in Ghaziabad in the early hours of Wednesday, police said

The victims were 12, 14, and 16 years old, according to the Ghaziabad Police

Police suspect the incident may be linked to a dispute at home over excessive online gaming, though the investigation is ongoing

Authorities said the sisters had reportedly developed a growing dependence on an online task-based game

Local residents alerted officials after hearing a loud noise around 2 am near the residential complex

The girls were found lying near the building and were rushed to a nearby hospital in Loni, police said

Doctors at the hospital declared all three girls dead, confirming the fatal outcome

Assistant Commissioner of Police Atul Kumar Singh said police received information about the incident at around 2.15 am and reached the spot shortly after

Police stated that no suicide note has been recovered, and the sisters’ mobile phones are being examined as part of the probe

The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination, while officials continue speaking with family members to establish the sequence of events
