Burari Case Rerun? Delhi Man, 4 Daughters Found Dead After Consuming Poisonous Substance

New Delhi: Five members of a family were found dead inside their house in Delhi's Vasant Kunj area, with the police initially suspecting it to be a case of mass suicide. The incident came to light on 27th September in the morning at 10 AM when Nitin Chauhan, the owner of the building, made a PCR call to report a foul smell coming from the third-floor apartment. Chauhan stated that despite multiple knocks, the tenants were not responding. Upon arrival, the police, with the assistance of the fire brigade, broke open the door and discovered the bodies of man and his 4 daughters.

Sulphas Packets Found Near the Bodies

Inside the room, the police discovered the bodies of the father and his four daughters. Open packets of sulphas, a toxic chemical used in pesticides, were found near the bodies, raising suspicions of poisoning. Along with this, tetra packs of juice and a bottle of water were recovered from the dustbin, suggesting the possibility that these items were consumed before the tragedy.

Delhi Police said," In the initial investigation, the case definitely seems to be of suicide, but how did these five take such a step together?"

Forensic Investigation Ongoing

Delhi Police have roped in forensic teams from both Delhi and the CBI, along with a team of doctors from Safdarjung Hospital, to conduct a detailed investigation. While preliminary findings point towards suicide, authorities remain puzzled as to what could have driven all five members of the family to take such a drastic step together.

Unanswered Questions and Disturbing Clues

The unsettling detail of a red sacred thread tied around the stomachs and necks of all four daughters has only deepened the mystery. The daughters were found lying on a double bed in one room, while their father’s body was discovered in an adjacent room. White foam was seen coming out of their mouths, a common indicator of poisoning.

Investigations are underway, more details awaited.
