Indian predator

Joe Biden Is In a World of Trouble Netflix has debuted the first trailer for the upcoming true-crime documentary series Murder in a Courtroom. This is the third installment in the streamer’s Indian Predator series of non-fiction shows, which is looking to wrap up its run mere months after first starting out. © Provided by Collider As with the previous two installments, Murder in a Courtroom also relies majorly on dramatic re-enactments. This time, the trailer doesn’t rely heavily on commentaries, barring a couple of moments where people discuss the ethics of what went down. Murder in a Courtroom is based on the vigilante killing of a suspected serial rapist named Bharat Kalicharan, aka Akku Yadav, in 2004. Scores of women were said to have barged into a courtroom and murdered Yadav using sharp weapons and stones, as an act of vengeance for his decade-long spree of terror in a local slum. Yadav operated in the city of Nagpur, and had allegedly been ignored by the police deliberately, as he perpetrated numerous attacks against women without fear of consequences. RELATED: Hearing that Yadav could get bail again, a The trailer recreates the scenes leading up to Yadav’s killing. Saree-clad women wielding knives are seen rushing toward him. One of them even appears to throw red chili powder in his eyes. “They ripped his ears off. They chopped his this and that,” one woman says in the trailer. “He was sharp, observant,” another woman says. A man who appears towards the end of the...

True crime–documentaries, docuseries, podcasts, or otherwise– is a vast genre and most times, it is this very scope that acts to its detriment. Netflix has housed several successful true crime projects, namely Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer, House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths, and our subject Indian Predator: The Butcher of Delhi. The Butcher of Delhi features accounts from police inspectors, journalists, and a forensic expert to delve into the search for a serial killer operating in West Delhi. While true crime documentaries (the well-made ones), especially based on serial killings, have predominantly been a Hollywood feature, filmmakers like Sood are localising these stories. Using multiple lenses across the three episodes works for the docuseries by constantly keeping the narrative moving, but it also results in confusion and staggered pacing. While using imagery and an effective music score, The Butcher of Delhi also aims to examine the social and psychological factors behind their subject's motive. There is a commentary about mental health but…not from a mental health expert. The Butcher of Delhi had all the makings of an intriguing retelling of a gruesome crime but is detailed by its shortcomings– the most prominent being its light-footed approach to challenging authority. Indian Predator: The Butcher of Delhi started streaming on Netflix on 20 July.

Indian Predator: The Diary of a Serial Killer, its second docuseries in the Indian Predator franchise after The Butcher of Delhi. This time around, the franchise is exploring the case of Raja Kolander, also known by the alias Ram Niranjan, who became the subject of mass attention after the murder of a journalist. Want to know what you’re getting into before you press play? We have you covered. Who Is Raja Kolander? By many accounts, Dheerenda Singh was a beloved and well-respected journalist. He worked for a Hindi daily newspaper and showed potential of moving up in his industry. But in 2001, his future was taken from him. Singh’s murder launched a community-wide search for his killer. Eventually the authorities’ eyes turned to Raja Kolander. It was phone tracking that originally made this husband of a local politician seem like a possible suspect and led to his arrest. That’s when Kolander’s diary was discovered. Including Singh, there were 14 names listed in the book, leading authorities and the media to believe that Singh was just one of Kolander’s ...

A serial killer and rapist, Umesh Reddy’s crimes were mostly based in Karnataka but his patterns do mirror that of another notorious killer, M Jaishankar (AKA “Psycho Shankar”) who wreaked havoc in Tamil Nadu. Both were charged for multiple rapes and both had escapes custody multiple times, revealing the fallacies within the policing system itself. Reddy was nicknamed 'The Ripper' for the similarities in his modus operandi with Jack The Ripper. Stealing underwear and second arrest (and escape): Reddy had a pattern of stealing women's undergarments; not just those of his victims, but also the ones hanging outside random houses. In fact, when Peenya (an industrial area in Bangalore) Police finally nabbed him in July 1997, the cops recovered a gunny bag filled with used lingerie from his room. The beast is finally caged: Just like many other serial killers, Reddy had marked Bangalore as his city. So, even though he shifted his focus to Maharashtra and Gujarat, going back to his native state and city seemed enticing, perhaps to challenge the authorities as we saw in the case of Chandrakant Jha in Indian Predator Season 1. Out of the 18 reported cases of rape and murder, he could be convicted only for 9, with the remaining 9 dismissed for lack of evidence. In 2006, a fast-track court in Bangalore slapped him with a death sentence, a 7-year sentence (with Rs 25,000 fine) and a 10-year sentence (with Rs 25,000 fine). The death sentence furthered the case’s journey to the Karnatak...

Filmmaker Ayesha Sood, who is awaiting the release of her upcoming docu-series 'Indian Predator: The Butcher of Delhi, revealed that although she is an enthusiast of the crime-thriller genre and has been a resident of Delhi all her life where the crime rate is quite high, she did not come across anything like the source material of the series. The series traces the story of a notorious serial killer who ruthlessly dismembered his victims and scattered their body parts around the city. Scary, unnerving yet compelling, the series attempts to painstakingly explain the sequence of events that led up to his arrest based on investigation and coverage of serial killings in the Indian capital. Elaborating on what went through her mind when she was approached by the producers of the series, Ayesha said, "When the Vice India team approached me with the idea of developing 'The Indian Predator', I was truly intrigued because even though I consider myself to be a true-crime nut, and have been a Delhi resident all my life, I had never heard of this story." She continued, "On researching this case I realised that this is indeed an important story to ...
