A tragic incident has unfolded in Delhi's Vasant Kunj, where the deaths of a man and his four daughters have sparked a police investigation into a possible 'occult practices' angle. The case has drawn parallels to the 2018 Burari suicide case, where 11 family members were found dead in their home under suspicious circumstances. The similarities in the two cases, particularly the presence of a red thread tied on the bodies, have prompted authorities to explore potential connections.
The deceased, identified as Heera Lal Sharma, a carpenter, and his daughters Neetu, Nikki, Neeru, and Nidhi, were found in their rented accommodation. The bodies showed no signs of external injury, but three packets of Celphos poison, five glasses, and a spoon containing a suspicious liquid were recovered from the scene. The neighbours reported a foul smell emanating from the flat, prompting them to alert the building owner, who ultimately called the police.
Police suspect that Sharma, struggling financially and emotionally after his wife's death from cancer, may have orchestrated a suicide pact. The family had withdrawn from social interaction for the past nine months, rarely leaving their home. Investigations are underway to determine the nature of the red thread found on the victims and its potential link to the Burari suicide case. The police are also analyzing CCTV footage and examining the mobile phone records of the deceased to gather more information about their interactions and potential motivations.
The incident has raised concerns about the potential role of 'occult practices' in both cases. The presence of the red thread and other unexplained circumstances have led investigators to consider whether a belief in superstition or a specific ritual may have influenced the family's actions. While the exact cause of death is yet to be determined, the investigation aims to shed light on the events leading to the tragedy and provide answers to the family's tragic end.
