Over a year after 11 members of a family were found dead at their home in a case of suspected mass suicide in North Delhi’s Burari area, handwriting analysis of the notes detailing the pact has shown that they were written by those who died. One of the pages in the carefully kept registers carried a note saying: Bhagwan ka Raasta” (road to God). Narayan Devi (77), her two sons Bhavnesh (50) and Lalit (45), her daughters-in-law Savita (48) and Teena (42), daughter Pratibha (57), grand-children Priyanka (33), Nitu (25), Monu (23), Dhruv (15) and Shivam (15) were found hanging facing each other in a room on the first floor of the house with their limbs tied.
The police had also seized eight mobile phones from a drawer in the prayer room, which also had taped on them. The forensic report of the mobile phones was yet to arrive, the police officer added. “The forensic report of the mobile phones will make it clear if the family members had contacted anyone before they took the extreme step or if anyone else had called them,” said the officer. The Delhi Police had earlier said: “Certain hand-written notes have been found, which pointed towards observance of some definite spiritual/mystical practices by the family. These notes have strong similarities with how they killed themselves.”
