“I did not know that this game involved such tasks. I came to know about all this only after the police forensic team examined their mobile phones,” the father said, according to The Sun.
He continued: “Prachi had once told him she was the ‘boss’ and that her sisters followed her directions.”
“My wife was sleeping in the inner room. The girls woke up on the pretext of drinking water, bolted the door from inside and jumped from the balcony,” he told media.
“I urge parents to not let their children play video games.”
According to reports, the girls’ father had three wives, Sujata, Heena and Tina, all of whom biological sisters. Sujata is Nishika’s mother, while Heena is the mother of Prachi and Pakhi. He was also reported to have been in debt, allegedly owning around 20 million Indian rupees, which is roughly $200,000. This situation may have also influenced the family’s dynamics.
The Times of India reported that the girl’s father had a live-in partner who died under suspicious circumstance in 2015 after falling from the roof of a flat at Rajendra Nagar Colony in the Sahibabad police station area. The case was ruled a suicide.
