The Burari deaths were the deaths of 11 members of the Chundawat family in Burari, Delhi, India in 2018. Ten family members were found hanged, while the grandmother was strangled. The police believe the deaths were a mass suicide motivated by a shared delusion.
The family followed instructions written in diaries that were believed to be dictated by the spirit of the family's patriarch, Bhopal Singh, who had died in 2007. The diaries were found by police and detailed instructions for the ritual that led to the family's deaths.
The family's youngest son, Lalit, is believed to have been the person the family thought was possessed by his father's spirit. Lalit had experienced previous trauma, including head injuries, and the documentary "House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths" suggests that he may have suffered from a delusional disorder. Psychologists suggest that the family may have experienced a shared psychotic disorder where they blindly followed Lalit's instructions.
