A fortnight after Bhatia family deaths, another similar case has come to light. A family of 6, including 2 children reportedly found dead at their home in Jharkhand's Hazaribagh district on Sunday.

Anvi’s body was found on a sofa, where she was strangled. Preeti’s body was also found hanging, while her mother-in-law, Kiran, too died of hanging, but her body was found lying on the bed.
