New details have come out in the investigation into the suicide of three minor sisters in Ghaziabad. Chetan Kumar, the father of the three minors, has now been connected to another suicide case from 2015. This adds a new twist to the shocking incident at the Bharat City residential township.
Ghaziabad Triple Suicide new details out
Back then, Kumar lived with another woman who was his live-in partner, despite having two wives. That woman died after falling from the roof of a flat in the Rajendra Nagar Colony in Sahibabad in 2015. Authorities later closed the case, ruling the death a suicide, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Trans Hindon) Nimish Patil told. Officials say this incident is now considered in the Ghaziabad investigation to better understand the mental state of the children.
Financial Struggles and Family Challenges
In the Ghaziabad Triple Suicide, Pakhi, 12, Prachi, 14, and Nishika, 16, jumped to their deaths from the 9th floor of their apartment building last. It happened after their parents complained about their gaming addiction and took away their phones.
The girls locked their room from the inside and jumped from the balcony one by one around 2:15 a.m. The noise was so loud that it woke many people in the residential complex. They were rushed to a hospital in Loni, where they were pronounced dead.
A complicated family structure has emerged in the Ghaziabad suicide investigation. Kumar currently has three wives, Sujata, Heena, and Tina, who are siblings. Sujata is reportedly the mother of Nishika, while Heena is the mother of Prachi and Pakhi. Kumar also has another daughter, Devu, 4, with his third wife, Tina. They all lived together.
It has also come to light that Kumar, a stockbroker, had a debt of Rs 2 crore and struggled to support his family. He even sold his daughters’ mobile phones to pay for electricity bills. The girls had not attended school for two years due to poor academic performance and financial problems.
