Our Analysis-

The message informs its readers that there is a group (toli) of people ( 15 to 20 or 40 to 45 in number) who wander in night along with womens and kids. They make the kids cry loudly in night in front of your home and out of mercy you might open the door. And that’s end of story. They attack the full family and kill everyone and take out different body parts.

So far, no such incidence have been reported anywhere in India. This viral message was spread at such an extent that Punjab police had to give clarification in news paper so that people are not afraid.

Conclusion – Though this message is fake and no such incidence have been reported, it is always advised not to open door in night without actually verifying who is knocking your door. Precaution is better than cure.
