On July 1, 2018, eleven members of the same family were found dead in their house in the Burari neighborhood of Delhi, India, sparking widespread shock and speculation. Most of the victims' bodies were discovered hanging from colorful scarfs around their necks tied to an iron grill on the ceiling. The bodies were arranged in a circular formation, all spaced evenly apart.

Investigators didn't know what to make of this scene. Was this murder? Was this a mass suicide? Both options seemed equally unlikely to all who knew and loved the Bhatia family. As investigations continued, authorities began to explore multiple angles, including possible psychological factors, family dynamics, and external influences that might have led to this tragic event.

The Burari deaths serve as a reminder of the complexity of human behavior and the challenges in understanding the underlying causes of such incidents. The incident prompted discussions about mental health awareness and the need for support systems for families dealing with stress and emotional turmoil.
