Blurring the lines between delusion, superstition and blind faith, it's a narrative that cuts across lines of class, religion and literacy, say experts.
The sources say the evidence and witness testimonies collected by the police proof that Lalit was often spotted talking to a picture of his father and used to keep searching for him. The father, Gopal Das Bhatia, was an ex-armyman and passed away 10 years ago.
In one of the latest revelation, 11 pipes, synonymous with 11 deaths in the family, were found protruding from one wall of the house.
According to the relatives and neighbours of the deceased family, the family had not disclosed of any financial or familial troubles. Sources close to the members also revealed that everything was fine and that they were happy.
The police sources said that based on forensic report murder can be ruled out, cops are likely to focus on the suicide angle in the case and try to track down the religious guru followed by the family, if any.
The notes, found by police at the family house, have strong similarity with the manner in which the mouths, eyes etc of the deceased were tied and taped.
Ten bodies were found hanging and blindfolded, while a 77-year-old woman's body was found on the floor. Two of the deceased are minors, police said.
