Girls addicted to online gaming, family objected: Police
According to the police, the 3 sisters were addicted to online gaming. They used to play some games on an app in the mobile phone. Their family however was against them playing the games. They tried to reason with the girls, regarding their addiction to online gaming. However, the girls refused to listen to them.
The parents often stopped the girls from playing the game. The police think this might have been the trigger for them to kill themselves.
