In Alirajpur, Madhya Pradesh, a shocking incident unfolded when the bodies of five individuals were discovered hanging inside a house. The deceased were identified as a husband, wife, and their three children. This tragic discovery led to the immediate arrival of district SP Rajesh Vyas at the scene. The true nature of the incident, whether it is a murder or a mass suicide, will be determined after the FSL and post-mortem reports. The police are currently awaiting the FSL team’s arrival. This case bears a striking resemblance to the Burari case in Delhi from July 1, 2018.
The event occurred in the village of Rawdi, within the jurisdiction of the Sondwa police station in Alirajpur district. The victims were Rakesh, the head of the household, his wife Lalita, their daughter Lakshmi, and their two sons, Akshay and Prakash. Relatives have expressed suspicions that the family was murdered. In the meantime, the police are rigorously investigating the matter.
It is important to recall the mass suicide case in Burari, Delhi, which had a profound impact across the country. Today, July 1, marks the sixth anniversary of that incident. On the night of June 30, 2018, between midnight and 1 AM, 11 members of the Chundawat family (also known as the Bhatia family) took their own lives.
Ten members of the family were discovered hanging, while the eldest member, the grandmother, was found strangled. The bodies were discovered the next morning, on July 1, 2018. It was reported that the head of the family, Lalit Bhatia, influenced by occult practices, coerced the entire family into committing mass suicide. These 11 deaths were attributed to a severe psychological disorder.
