The Burari deaths were a ritual mass suicide of eleven family members of the Chundawat family from Burari, Delhi, India, in 2018. Ten people—ranging in age from 15 to 57 years old—were found hanged, while the oldest family member, the 80-year-old grandmother, was strangled. The bodies were found on 1 July 2018, in the early morning after the deaths. The police have ruled the deaths were motivated by shared psychosis.
