Burari deaths
The Burari deaths were a ritual mass suicide of eleven family members from Burari, India, in 2018. Ten people—ranging in age from 15 to 57 years old—were found hanged, while the oldest family member, the 80-year-old grandmother, was strangled. The bodies were found on 1 July 2018, in the early morning after the deaths. The police have ruled the deaths were motivated by shared psychosis.
The Bhatia family, had lived in the three-story house in Burari's Sant Nagar neighbourhood for around twenty years, after moving from their native town in Tohana, Haryana. The family ran a grocery shop and a plywood business in the area. The family consisted of:
In 2007, Lalit's father Bhopal Singh died of natural causes. After the death of their father, Lalit became very introverted. One day, he told his family that he was possessed by his father's soul, who advised him the ways to attain a good life. Since 2007, he along with Priyanka and Nitu had been maintaining a diary on his father's "instructions".
On the morning of 1 July 2018 (at around 7:15 am), the neighbour Gurcharan Singh, who used to go on morning walks with one of the deceased, went to the residence. He noticed that Lalit was absent from the morning walk and that the shops were still closed. The shops usually opened between 5 and 5:30 am. Gurcharan Singh found the door of the house open and the ten people, including Lalit, hanging. He raised an alert by calling other neighbours. Police received the call around 7:30 am.
Ten of the eleven people – two men, six women and two teens – were found hanging in the courtyard of the house. They were blindfolded and their mouths were taped. Some of the bodies had their hands and feet tied. The grandmother, 80-year-old Narayani Devi, was found dead in another room. It appeared that she had been strangled.
Members of the family were found hanging from a mesh in their ceiling in the hallway, all close together. Their faces were wrapped almost entirely, ears plugged with cotton, mouths taped and hands tied behind the back. There were five stools, probably shared by the 10 members. Their faces were covered with cloth pieces cut from a single bed-sheet.
Tommy, the pet dog of the family, was the only survivor in the house. He was chained on the terrace and had a high fever when the police found him after discovering the 11 bodies. It was not clear who tied him. He was later said to have been convalescing at Noida's House of Stray Animals, where he was taken immediately after being rescued.
Evidence found in the house pointed to mass suicide for occult reasons. Post-mortem examination of the bodies found no signs of struggle. Due to the public nature of the case, pressure from hardline groups, and accusations of coverup from relatives, police initially recorded the case as a murder and investigated the possibility of a murder motivated by non-occult reasons.
