The write-up linked above covers the details of the case well, so I won't repeat them all here. This explanation has left many unsatisfied, especially some loved ones and friends, who cannot believe that this family who was 100% normal, warm and loving and friendly, would all kill themselves - let alone in such horrifying fashion. The more the case was delved into, though, the more the police realized it was a case of mass suicide. Ten had been hanged from a grating in the ceiling of the first floor roof, and the last, the grandmother, was strangled while lying on her side because she was too weak to be with the others.Īt first everyone thought it must be a case of mass murder. Not just dead, but hanged, their mouths gagged and their hands bound.

In July of 2018, in the Burari district of Dehli, India, eleven members of a single family, spanning three generations, were found dead in their home. Officially the police ruled it a mass suicide.īut for many the case feels unresolved, something that this documentary explores rather thoroughly, and which I thought kept it relevant to this sub.Ī quick summary of the case for the unfamiliar: Not because it's unsolved, because technically it is. It was actually u/dyslexicpancrea who brought this Netflix documentary, which is in three parts, to my attention, for which I'm grateful, because this case has always been one of those that haunted. For those not familiar with this tragic case, u/slimcrickens did an excellent write up two years ago.
