In the early morning hours of July 1st, 2018, a neighbor of the Chundawat family in the Burari neighborhood in Delhi, India was puzzled when he saw that their shops still weren’t open. The milk had been delivered to the grocery shop, but it had not yet been brought inside. Customers were waiting outside to make purchases, but none had seen the Chundawats. Concerned, the neighbor climbed the stairs to the family’s home and found the main door open. He pushed through the door and into the home and saw what he thought might be a horrible nightmare. Hanging from an iron grate in the ceiling were nine bodies. Another body was hanging across the room from the others. The eleventh member of the Chundawat family, the grandmother, was laying on the floor beside a bed, with a belt and scarf wrapped around her neck. All eleven members of the family were dead, but nobody could understand why. Had the Chundawat family been part of a ritualistic mass suicide or were they the victims of murder?
