Echoes Of Delhi's Burari
In 2018, 11 members of a family were found dead under mysterious circumstances in Delhi's Burari. Ten members were found handing in the courtyard of the house, blindfolded. An elderly woman was found strangled in another room of the house.
The police obtained handwritten notes from the family which suggested that the mass suicide had been conducted in order to attain salvation. However, later on, the case was attributed to delusion or psychosis.
