Police said the sisters had recently been denied access to mobile phones, which may have distressed them. The girls had reportedly been at home and not attending school for the past two years. Their father, Chetan Kumar, described the situation as devastating, saying he was unaware of the extent of their online activity. “This should not happen to any parent or child,” he told reporters.
