Case overview
The Burari deaths were a ritual mass suicide of eleven family members from Burari, India, in 2018. The police have ruled the deaths were motivated by shared psychosis. [1]
The bodies were found on 1 July 2018, in the early morning after the deaths. Due to the public nature of the case, pressure from hardline groups, and accusations of coverup from relatives, police initially recorded the case as a murder and investigated the possibility of a murder motivated by non-occult reasons.
