New Delhi (CNN) Eleven members of a family in India's capital Delhi were found dead in their house Sunday, 10 of them hanging from an iron grill on the ceiling, in an incident police say may be related to occult practices.

Most of the bodies had their feet and hands bound, a cloth covered the eyes and their mouths were gagged with tape, senior North Delhi police officer Vinit Kumar told CNN.

The oldest member of the family, Narayan Devi, 77, was found dead on the floor. She had a noose around her neck and the police are investigating the cause for her death.

Seven of the dead were females and two teenage boys were amongst the victims.

An ambulance is seen exiting the scene of the alleged murder, in Burari, a predominately low-income neighborhood in North Delhi.

Police are treating the case as murder, said Kumar.
