11 members of a family were found dead in their house in Delhi's Burari in July

Several diaries were found which revealed family's superstitious beliefs

Psychological autopsy says it was an accident that occurred during a ritual

The report mentioned that none of the deceased had an intention to put an end to his/her life.
 T
he psychological autopsy report of Burari mass suicide case has revealed that the
eleven members of the family who were found dead at their home in July did not
commit suicide. It was an "accident that occurred during a ritual", the report revealed.

The Delhi Police had asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to conduct the
psychological autopsy. A psychological autopsy attempts to study a deceased person's
mental state by analysing medical records, interviewing friends and family and conducting
research into their state of mind prior to death.

"On the basis of psychological autopsy study on the deceased, the incident was not a
suicide but an accident that occurred during the course of performing a ritual. None of the
deceased had an intention to put an end to his/her life," the report read.

During the course of the psychological autopsy, the CBI's Central Forensic Science
Laboratory (CFSL) analysed the notes in registers found in the house and statements of
friends and members of the Chundawat family recorded by police.

The CFSL also interviewed the eldest son of the family matriarch Dinesh Singh Chundawat
and his sister Sujata Nagpal and their families.
