The Burari Deaths: Delhi's Ritual Mass-Hanging Mystery | #266
About this episode
The Burari Deaths – eleven members of the same family found dead in their Delhi home under deeply disturbing circumstances – still haunt the city today. In the early morning of 1 July 2018, Gurcharan Singh went to check on his neighbours in the Burari district of Delhi. When he got there, he found a scene of mass hanging so chilling that the whole city was thrown into a frenzy.
Ten members of the Chundawat family were hanging from the ceiling. Another, the 80-year-old grandmother, was found strangled in the next room. And the police, the public, and the national media were stumped – it seemed too complex for suicide; too organised for murder. And then, they discovered a diary that changed everything…
In the first case in five years of RedHanded to cause Suruthi to sleep with the lights on, we delve into the murky, ritualistic details of the Burari family deaths.
