In July 2018, eleven members of the same family were found dead inside their home in Burari, North Delhi. What at first looked like a mass suicide soon turned into one of India’s most haunting and baffling mysteries.No signs of struggle. No forced entry. Ten of them hanging in a circle — and one lying still in another room.
The Chundawat family was known to be kind, generous, and deeply spiritual. But behind their quiet life, diaries spanning over a decade revealed something chilling — a pattern of ritualistic obedience, guided by what they believed was the voice of their deceased patriarch.
Was this a suicide pact, a case of shared delusion, or something far more sinister?Join us as we uncover the strange, heartbreaking truth behind The Burari Case.
