Delhi Police will conduct a psychological autopsy of the 11 people found dead under mysterious circumstances at their home on July 1 to solve the puzzle, a senior officer said today, even as a team visited Rajasthan to meet the relatives of the Chundawat family.
The psychological autopsy will be conducted after the police receive the final post-mortem report from doctors.
It will likely be conducted at New Delhi's Central Forensic Science Laboratory, which will form a panel of psychologists to analyse the psyche of the deceased.
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.
A police team visited Rajasthan to record the statements of family members of Chundawat family and their daughter-in-law Tina's relatives as part of its investigation in the case.
Police found an acquaintance of the Chundawat family, who had stayed with them a few years ago. The person told them he was aware about Lalit having delusions about visitations from his dead father. The acquaintance confirmed that he had seen Lalit assuming his father's alter-ego, the officer said.
Lalit was among the people found dead at the Burari home.
His wife Tina's relatives confirmed that she had told them about Lalit's behaviour but they never suspected it would lead to such a tragedy, the officer said.
By going through the notes recovered from the spot that spoke about replicating 'badh tapasya', in which people get into a banyan tree-formation whose branches hang around, the expert will try and gain an insight into the psyche of the deceased, he said.
The notes say replicating 'badh tapasya' would make God happy.
