New Delhi: The mysterious death of eleven members of one family in North Delhi’s Burari had shocked the world. The mystery behind the eleven plastic pipes that remained protruding from one of the walls of the Bhatia house was splashed on media after 11 members of the family lost their together.
It is said that the family was under the impression that a dead ancestor of the family would bring them back to life if they attempted a mass suicide pact. The belief ended up claiming lives of 11 members, who had done enough preparations before the final rituals. Installing 11 pipes on the wall too was believed to be one of such preparations.
The pipes had become the identification mark of the building and now, six months after the incident took place, the eerie pipes have been finally pulled out.
“The pipes had become a tamasha (spectacle). It wasn’t possible to prevent curious passersby from gathering to take a look and spread rumours. So, I decided to get rid of them altogether,” said Dinesh Chundawat, a member of the family who got possession of the house.
Last month, Chundawat got five of the holes cemented and the rest stuffed with broken bricks. “Some of the holes were too high to be reached without a swing,” he said.
