Watched at end of 2023 – source video: Netflix – just a
simple review by a girl who enjoy watching crime documentaries.
First impression – a madman murdered his entire family;
mental illness.
Case description: consisted of eleven members of the
Chundawat family; 3 generations, from Burari, Delhi, India, committed
ritualistic mass suicide in 2018. The grandmother, the eldest family member,
had been strangled, and ten people had been found hanging. Early on July 1,
2018, following the death, the bodies were discovered. According to the police,
the deaths were caused by a shared delusion or psychosis.
Review: the strange situation happened right after
the father’s death. Believed Dad’s spirit came home and carried on his
responsibilities by using his son’s body. By psychology's view, they believed the
family had suffered ‘shared psychotic disorder.’ The main suspect is Lalit, a
married son who is leading the patriarchy of the house. The case leads to a few theories, including supernatural influence. The diary was found as critical evidence. Every
member of the family obeys Lalit’s instruction. Suicide happened.
Theory 1: Dead spirit (Dad) included in the term "possession." *logical/law unacceptable - have possibility
Theory 2: Ritual. *Logically acceptable - may be related to
Theory 1
Theory 3: Lalit suffers from a mental issue condition (as believed,
he experienced delusional disorder), or he may be already have a mental illness.
*most reasonable theory for report
