MUMBAI/NEW DELHI (REUTERS) - Eleven members of a family were found dead in India’s capital on Sunday (July 1), most of them hanging from the ceiling of their home, blindfolded, gagged and with hands tied behind the back, with police unable to offer any concrete explanation about what happened.
A police statement said some handwritten notes were found in the house “which point towards observance of some definite spiritual/mystical practices by the whole family”.
“These notes have strong similarity with the manner in which the mouths, eyes etc of the deceased were tied and taped.”
This angle was being investigated and a case of murder registered, the statement said.
The home of those who died is above a grocery store the family owned in the Burari district in a northern part of Delhi.
It is near to where three people were killed and several injured in a shootout between two gangs just two weeks ago, but police said there was no apparent link.


Sunday’s dead were four men and seven women, including teenagers and a 75-year-old woman who was found on the floor. The others were hanging from a railing attached to the ceiling, media reports said.
Police said the family included the woman, her two sons and their wives, a daughter and grandchildren.
A neighbour found the victims early on Sunday, police said.
“I haven’t seen such a crime before,” said Mr Vineet Kumar, additional deputy commissioner of police in north Delhi.
“We are investigating all possible angles including suicide, foul play. We can say something about the cause of death only after the postmortem reports come.”
All the family members had died and there were no witnesses. Neighbours had not heard anything untoward, police said.
According to media reports, the family migrated to the capital from the northwestern state of Rajasthan about two decades ago and police were trying to get in touch with relatives there.
On June 18, members of rival gangs opened fire on each other in the main Burari market, killing three people and wounding five.

Police in India's capital said they found 11 bodies at a home under mysterious circumstances on Sunday, including 10 that were blindfolded and hanging.
The victims were all from the same family and most had lived in the home where they were found in Burari village in the northern part of New Delhi, said police officer Vineet Kumar.
During a search of the house, handwritten notes were found that point "toward observance of some definite spiritual or mystical practices by the whole family," police said in a statement.
"Coincidentally, these notes have strong similarity with the manner in which the mouths, eyes etc of the deceased were tied and taped," the statement said. It didn't elaborate.

Kumar said police began their investigation after they received a call Sunday morning that some "members of a family have committed suicide."
But he said that no suicide note was found, and that police were investigating whether the victims — a 77-year-old woman, her two sons and their wives, a daughter and five grandchildren — died by suicide or were killed.
There were no bullet marks on the victims' bodies and there was no sign of forced entry into the house, Kumar said. "We're yet to reach any conclusion whatsoever," he said.
Police said in their statement later Sunday that a murder case had been registered, though a police official said both murder and suicide were being investigated.

The statement said that the house had not been ransacked, and that no valuables were found to be missing.
Ten bodies, blindfolded by cotton and pieces of cloth, were found hanging from an iron grill used as a ventilator in the home's courtyard, while the body of the 77-year-old woman was lying on the floor of the house, said the police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to reporters.
The family had lived in the house for more than two decades, the Hindustan Times newspaper reported. It said the house belongs to a businessman who ran a plywood shop and dairy.
The newspaper said that at around 8 a.m. Sunday, a neighbor with whom the businessman used to go for morning walks went to see him and found the door of the house open and the 10 people, including the businessman, hanging. He raised an alarm and people called the police.

Arjun Thukral, a relative of the family who lives in the same neighborhood, said he ran to the victims' house as news of the deaths spread.
"I saw the bodies hanging, stools lying around, and my wife's aunt sprawled on the floor by the bed. I couldn't bear watching anymore," he said.
Thukral questioned whether the family had died by suicide.
"No father can kill his own son. ... How would a mother be able to kill her own children? I don't think they committed suicide. These are murders," he said.
New Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, who visited the scene, called the incident "tragic."
"Police are investigating. ... Let's wait for their investigation to be over," he said.
In a video posted on Twitter by Kejriwal's ruling party, the neighbors are heard telling Kejriwal that the family was busy with wedding preparations.
A neighbor of the family said they couldn't have died by suicide, New Delhi Television reported. The neighbor said he spoke to one of the victims Saturday night and found no sign of any stress, the report said.
Indian TV channels broadcast interviews with neighbors who said the family did not have any discord among themselves.
Police official Rajesh Khurana told reporters that all angles were being investigated. "We can't rule out anything," he said.

Delhi's summer of discontent: anger, killings over water
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Through the long summer months in Delhi, tens of thousands of people have cut back on daily showers and laundry because of a shortage of water that has led to fighting in some areas in which three people have been killed.

Monsoon rains forecast for this week in Delhi will signal an end to the summer, but India faces the worst long-term water crisis in its history and millions of lives and livelihoods could be at risk, a think tank chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said in a report.

“We’re in dire straits and we need to change our approach to tackle the crisis, otherwise the situation will become so grim that the shortages will knock down our GDP by 6 percentage points in over a decade,” Avinash Mishra, a joint adviser at the Niti Aayog think tank, told Reuters.
India’s water consumption is projected to touch 843 billion cubic meters (bcm) by 2025 against the current availability of 695 bcm. By 2050, the country will need 1,180 bcm of water, and at the same time groundwater is being depleted at unsustainable rates, the report said.

Almost every sector in the economy is dependent on water, especially agriculture, which sustains two-thirds of India’s 1.3 billion people.
Delhi, a sprawling city of 20 million people, is symptomatic of the nationwide water shortage. Summer temperatures can soar as high as 45 degrees Celsius and areas outside the main government districts suffer badly, when taps run dry and groundwater levels fall. Both Delhi and Bengaluru, India’s software capital, will run out of groundwater by 2020, the Niti Aayog report said. Fights frequently break out in some Delhi neighbourhoods when government-run water tankers arrive and people, mostly women and children, converge with their cans and buckets.

In one such incident in Wazirpur in northwest Delhi, Lal Bahadur, 60, died after a brawl with neighbours over water in March. His 18-year-old son, Rahul, who also suffered serious injuries in the scuffle, died in hospital a month later. Such fighting is frequent because one water tanker a day is like a drop in the ocean in this bustling suburb of daily-wage workers, said a police official involved in investigating Bahadur’s death. The official did not want to be identified in line with government policy. “I lost my husband and my son for something as basic as water,” said a teary-eyed Sushila Devi, Bahadur’s wife. “The culprits are out on bail granted by a court and I don’t have the means to pursue the case further”.

SHOT DEAD
About 1.5 million residents in another Delhi district, Sangam Vihar, live in tatty, cramped houses facing open and overflowing drains.
Once in a while, private water tankers come to the area but these suppliers charge a hefty price, citing the cragged and unmetalled road that connects Sangam Vihar to the city.

“We’re about to run out of water,” said Bimla Devi, a woman who lives there. “My family of four could survive on the supply that we last received on June 6 because we decided to give up the luxury of having daily showers and doing daily laundry”.
She said she buys bottled water for drinking.

Earlier this month, Kishan Bhadana, 45, brother of a local politician, was shot dead after a tiff over laying water pipelines in Sangam Vihar.
Government officials concede that water supply is skewed in Delhi, with a densely populated area like Sangam Vihar receiving hardly 30-40 litres of water per person per day against the standard requirement of 150 litres.

Municipal authorities ensure that water supplies to sparsely populated central New Delhi, the seat of power where top government ministers and civil servants live, remain at about 375 litres per person per day, way above the average. The city’s main army cantonment area also gets around 375 litres of water per person per day. Elsewhere, taps often run dry because of leaky pipes while thefts lead to a nearly 50 percent loss in the supply of water to individual households. Once stolen, the water is sold at a premium by Delhi’s so-called tanker mafia.

Out of 27 administrative units in Delhi, ground water resources in more than half are “over exploited”, with only five considered “safe” by the Central Ground Water Board.
A businessman in Vasant Kunj, an upscale neighbourhood at the foothills of the Aravali mountain range, is planning to dispose of his 2.5 acre farm because he finds it difficult to get water to maintain his large property. The businessman, who did not wish to be named, said he needs at least 30,000 litres of water daily for upkeep, which has become a luxury now.

“Extensive studies have suggested that in Delhi we end up using 120 percent of the ground water recharge every year. That shows the severity of the situation in the capital,” said Mishra of Niti Aayog.
