A month after the people were shaken by the suspected ‘suicide pact’ in which 11 members of a family were found dead in Delhi’s Burari area, seven members of a family Ranchi were found dead, yesterday, as police again believe that it might be a case of yet another ‘suicide pact’.

‘Suicide Pacts’ have seen a rise in the last few months and even if we sideline Burari and Ranchi incidents, where theentire family have committed suicide, there are other incidents where couples, thefamily of three or more have committed suicide owing to different problems. Police in many cities are investigating this emerging trend and the possibility of a common thread between them.
