Burari: Autopsy reveals six of 11 family members died due to hanging
New Delhi, July 2 (IBNS): The autopsy report of six out of the eleven members of the Burari family, who were found dead under mysterious conditions at their residence on Sunday, revealed that they died as a result of hanging, media reports said.
No marks of strangulation were found on their bodies.
The autopsy was conducted on the six bodies on Sunday night itself.
According to reports, the family is believed to have committed suicide in an attempt to achieve mass salvation.
The bodies, including that of the two minors, were supposed to be handed over to relatives on Monday morning.
The Delhi Police, probing the case, will also question the fiance of the woman in the family who was supposed to get married later this year.
Eleven members of the family were found dead at their residence in New Delhi on Sunday, police said.
According to reports, most of the deceased was found hanging from the ceiling of the residence.
They were even found blindfolded, gagged and hands tied behind the back.
The deceased included seven women, two men and two boys aged 15.
Police started investigating whether they killed themselves or were murdered.
The house was however not ransacked, reports said.
The women were found wearing gold jewellery, the police told NDTV.
During a search of the house, certain handwritten notes were found, which point to the observance of some definite "spiritual or mystical practices by the family," a communique from the police said in the evening as reported by NDTV.
"Coincidentally, the notes have strong similarity with the manner in which the mouths, eyes etc of the deceased were tied and taped," the communique read.
The family ran a grocery shop and plywood business in the Burari's Sant Nagar area.
