Some residents of the area where 11 members of a family were found dead at their residence in north Delhi have claimed the 11 pipes jutting out the side wall of the house have an "occult meaning", baffling police.
Locals claimed that the 11 pipes were an outlet for "the souls of the deceased". However, a neighbour said the family, which was into plywood business, had installed the pipes so that toxic fumes from the chemicals applied on plywood could be released through those.
The police, however, have dismissed any link between the pipes and the deaths.
Many locals also alleged that some unidentified persons would come and post Hindi verses on the board outside their residence.
