Police found traces of rat poison and a suicide note in the house, causing them to suspect that the 11 had killed themselves.
Eleven members of a Hindu family who moved in from Pakistan in 2015 found dead in their small house located on a farm in Lodata Alavata village of Rajasthan’s Jodhpur district. A family member who slept outside the hut and was alive informed the police.
The dead include a five-year-old girl and two boys, aged 11 and 10. Police found traces of rat poison and a suicide note in the house, causing them to suspect that the 11 had killed themselves. But murder cannot be ruled out, the police said.
“All angles are being investigated,” said Jodhpur (rural) superintendent of police Rahul Barhat. He said that the lone survivor who slept on the veranda outside the hut informed the police about the deaths around 10 am on Sunday.

“All the deceased are Pakistani immigrants and were living in Jodhpur since 2015 on long-term visa. Migrants of any other country can only apply for citizenship after completing seven years in India. The family had taken a farm on lease from a local and used to do farming on that for their survival. They had many relatives in Jodhpur also,” said Barhat.
