Interactive and religious — that is how neighbours and friends remember 45-year-old Lalit Bhatia, one of the 11 members of a family found dead in Burari on Sunday morning. Police investigators and psychologists believe Lalit Bhatia led his family to death and was suffering from a delusional disorder. Investigations have revealed that Lalit was the one who had written the notes.Police investigators and psychologists also believe Lalit was suffering from a “delusional disorder”. Rajat Mitra, a clinical psychologist, saw the mass deaths as “shared psychotic disorder” and Lalit as someone who had managed to obtain the “unquestionable loyalty” of others in the house and have them do his bidding by convincing them that it was a survival strategy against the dangers of the world.
