Abstract
A recent incident happened in New Delhi, India, which has prompted us to neologise a phrase similar to the ones already in use. These are “folie a deux” meaning that two persons in the same family have gone insane. When three persons in the same family go insane it is termed “folie a trois”. In the incident that has shaken the country eleven people have gone in to partnership insanity or shared insanity, hence termed as “folie an onze”. Detail about this case is subscripted and the readers would be amazed as we are to realize how collective psychosis could play havoc in the lives of unfortunate victims.
