CCTV suggests suicide in Delhi family mass hanging mystery

    Police in Delhi investigating the deaths of 11 members of the same family believe CCTV footage supports a theory of mass suicide.

    10 of the deceased were discovered hanged from the ceiling, with a woman in her 70s found lying on the floor.

    The family, originally from Rajasthan, had lived in Delhi for more than 20 years and ran two shops on the ground floor of a three-storey building where they also lived.

    Police say footage appears to show family members carrying stools and wires used in the hangings into the house.

    However, they have not ruled out murder and are still investigating.
