A tragic incident in Uttar Pradesh has claimed the lives of three teenage girls who jumped from the ninth floor of a residential building, police confirmed on Tuesday. Investigators recovered a handwritten note at the scene that read “Mummy Papa sorry,” prompting an intensive probe into the circumstances leading to the deaths. Authorities said a mobile game application is among the factors under examination, though no official conclusion has been reached.

Incident and Immediate Response

According to police officials, the girls—aged between 13 and 16—were found dead after falling from the upper floor of a high-rise apartment complex. Emergency services were alerted by residents who heard the impact and rushed to the scene. The girls were declared dead upon arrival at a nearby hospital, officials said.

The apartment floor from which the fall occurred has been sealed for forensic examination. Police teams have collected physical evidence, secured CCTV footage from the building, and recorded statements from family members and neighbors.

Note Recovered at the Scene

Police confirmed the recovery of a brief handwritten note addressed to the girls’ parents, stating “Mummy Papa sorry.” Investigators have sent the note for handwriting analysis as part of standard procedure. Officials cautioned against drawing conclusions from the note alone and emphasized that its contents are being evaluated alongside other evidence.

Family members have been provided counseling support, and authorities said child welfare officials are also involved to assist relatives coping with the loss.

Digital Activity and Game App in Focus

As part of the investigation, police are reviewing the girls’ mobile phones and digital activity. A game application reportedly used by the girls has come under scrutiny. Officials said the review aims to determine whether any online interactions, challenges, or communications may have influenced the incident.

“At this stage, we are examining all possible angles, including digital behavior,” a senior police officer said, adding that no link has been officially established. Authorities stressed that the investigation is ongoing and urged the public to avoid speculation.

Authorities Urge Caution and Awareness

State police reiterated the importance of parental awareness regarding children’s online activities, while noting that responsibility can only be assessed after the investigation is complete. Officials also appealed to the public and media to refrain from circulating unverified claims, particularly on social media platforms.

Psychologists consulted by authorities emphasized the need for open communication within families and schools, especially when adolescents are exposed to digital platforms. However, police clarified that expert opinions are advisory and not determinative of the case outcome.

Investigation Continues

The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examinations to establish the precise cause of death. Police said results will be shared once available. Legal provisions under relevant sections have been initiated, and further details will be released through official briefings.

Until the investigation concludes, authorities said no definitive cause or contributing factor can be confirmed.
