Details continue to emerge from a diary note allegedly left behind by the Ghaziabad siblings who jumped from the ninth floor of their residential building in the early hours of Wednesday.

The details point to their deep fascination with Korean culture, including K-dramas and K-pop.

Arun Kumar, a resident of an adjacent tower, said he witnessed the incident from his balcony. Kumar, who lives on the 10th floor of Tower A4, said he noticed unusual activity in the apartment across from his late at night, a report by Hindustan Times said on Thursday.

“I now realise it was three girls. One was sitting on the window ledge. Another was holding her, and the third was trying to pull both of them inside,” he said. “A few seconds later, all three fell together. There was a massive noise,” he recalled.

Kumar said he rushed downstairs after the fall and heard the parents arguing in shock. “I heard the mother saying, ‘How can you scold the children so much?’ And the father shouting back, ‘Why couldn’t you take care of them?’” he said. He added that the mothers were crying inconsolably while the father stood nearby.

Other residents also reported hearing a loud thud late at night. Prashant Singh, a resident of Tower B3, said, “Like others, I heard the scream and ran out. I saw three girls lying dead. Their father came running down and started shouting at one of the women. Then both women began arguing.”

Some residents said the sisters jumped from the middle of three sliding glass window panes in their apartment.

The police probe into the suspected suicide has so far revealed the sisters’ intense obsession with Korean culture, music and television dramas. According to notes found in their diary, the girls wished to visit South Korea and were upset with their parents for not allowing them to do so.

Police said the final diary note was written by the 14-year-old sister, who was considered a “leader” by the other two. Ravi Balyan, station house officer of Tila Morh police station, said that if the 14-year-old skipped a meal, the other two would do the same. “They spent entire days together,” he said, as reported earlier by HT.
