Delhi: 11 of same family dead, they reportedly observed mystical-practices

In a major development in the deaths of 11 people in Burari, Delhi, the police on Sunday said the family may have been observing mystical practices. The police found handwritten notes near the bodies. Ten members of the family were found gagged, blindfolded and with their hands tied in their residence in Sant Nagar, Burari. A 77-year-old woman was discovered strangled. Here's more about it.

The revealations
Family didn't have financial woes, internal conflict, neighbors ascertain

Notably, the deceased were tied and gagged in the same manner as written in the notes. Neighbors revealed the family was religious and used to hang quotations on a small board outside the home. They also said the family wasn't facing financial woes. A local plywood worker further said the family didn't have any internal conflict.

The investigation
The family wasn't robbed before deaths, police say

Reportedly, the deaths were planned well in advance. Police sources also revealed that three members of the family decided to commit suicide, earlier. The members reportedly ate food that had sedatives. After they died, police believed they were gagged and hanged. No signs of ransacking have been found, as the jewlery on women and cash in the home were untouched. Crime branch has taken over the case.
