Audio listeners, head to the YouTube comments section to tell us how many times we used the phrase "WHOLE TRUTH": https://yt.openinapp.co/Sharmini Visit Whole Truth Foods and use CODE: DESI20 to get 20% off your order. https://thewholetruthfoods.com When a girl leaves her home in Toronto, she feels safe. Her family feels safe. When she says she'll be back in a few hours, people believe she will. The same was true in 1999, just as it is today. So when, in June of 1999, a 15 year old left her home at 9AM to start a new job she had just gotten, her family trusted they'd see her for dinner that evening. But hours passed and then days and then months before that 15 year old would be seen again. This is the story of what happened that one June morning and the one man everyone believes was responsible for it. This is the tragic story of Sharmini Anandavel.

It's the voice of all people, victims and criminals alike. It's a pillar that differentiates right from wrong in the goal of creating a society as close to ideal as possible. A justice system is all of those things not because of the system itself but in large part because of the people who make up the system— honest lawyers and honest judges. And so when a reputed judge himself is at the center of not one murder but 4, the country watches in shock and awe. That is what was happening in Assam in the late 1960s. This is the story of that one judge and his beautiful family. This is the story of the Rajkhowa Murders.

Watch the Netflix show IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack, based on true events. Show comes out on 29th August. Find it here: https://www.netflix.com/title/81265803 “Cabin crew, prepare for takeoff.” As soon as the pilot utters those words, you completely submit yourself to them. You know for a fact you're in their hands, literary and figuratively. An anxiety and excitement grip; being 30,000ft in the air does that. But deep down, you want to land. You want to touch earth again. You want to walk. The passengers of Indian Airlines IC 814 were no different. When the captain of that flight uttered “Cabin crew, prepare for takeoff,” from Kathmandu Airport's tarmac, the 178 passengers must've felt the same anxiety, and excitement. They must've wanted to walk. But they did not. Of those 178 passengers, 5 were terrorists, committed to hijacking this Airbus A300. This is the story of the airplane that never landed in Delhi. This is the story of the Kandahar Hijacking.  For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios or join our YouTube family https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/join To buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studios For fastest updates, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/ Want our content in video formats instead?

Visit Whole Truth Foods and use CODE: DESI20 to get 20% off your order. https://thewholetruthfoods.com Murder is a horrendous violation of a fundamental right— a right to live. A right to experience the joys of being alive, whether those be falling in love, getting your dream job or something as simple as eating your favorite meal. Murder strips you of existence. But some murders and some murderers go down in history not just because they stripped someone of that right but because of how they stripped someone of that right. Because of how many people they stripped of that right. One such murderer was roaming the dark and quiet highways of Southern India in the late 2000s. This is the story of those highways, of that murderer. This is the story of Psycho Shankar.  For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios or join our YouTube family https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/join To buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studios For fastest updates, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/ Want our content in video formats instead?

Millions around the world wait at bus stops every single day, heading to school, work, or back home. And for some reason, those bus stops feel safe. The tiny bench covered by the tiny canopy is a piece of sanctuary on an otherwise mammoth and alien road.

But little did she know, this morning and this bus stop was going to be different. Under that bus stop's canopy, was going to be the last moment of peace she would ever know. This is the story of that morning, that bus stop, that woman. This is the story of Faiza Ashraf.  For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios or join our YouTube family https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/join To buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studios For fastest updates, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/ Want our content in video formats instead?

Women are beautiful, women are strong. Women can be each other's biggest champion. But women can also be each other's harshest critics; jealous and vindictive. From the mother-in-law versus bahu trope, to the trope of 2 pretty girls who can never be friends, female equations are complex, marred with the sexism society has taught us. This is the universe of every young girl's childhood and it was the universe of the girls living on tiny Vancouver Island in British Columbia in the fall of 1997. It was a universe that was about to boil over into a tale of brutal murder. This is the story of Reena Virk.

Every film industry seems to have a dark underbelly. It seems to have countless unexplained murders, mysterious disappearances and ties to high profile criminal activity. Bollywood is the same way. From Sri Devi to Jia Khan, from Pratyusha Banerjee to Raj Kiran, crime seems to seep through our industry, leaving behind death and devastation. This is the story of one such crime that shook Bollywood, the story of a family, massacred. This is the story of Laila Khan.

Titu Toran Singh was born in a village near Agra on December 12th, 1983. At age 2, his first words were: I am not from here. He insisted he was actually a man named Suresh, who was murdered in his past life. Over the years, he began making outlandish claims like owning a radio shop in Agra and having a wife named Uma. Finally in 1986 his parents put his claims to the test by visiting Agra where he said his shop was. They found it…Suresh Radio. And 41 years later, we found Titu. This is FIRST EVER podcast interview. Find out in this episode if Titu was lying, or if he was actually reborn for revenge.  Chapters 00:00 - 03:28 : Introduction 03:28 - 06:46 : I Don't Know How I Came Here 06:46 - 13:38 : Radio Silence 13:38 - 19:08 : Smuggled Into The Afterlife 19:08 - 28:44 : Twists, Trysts And Tests 28:44 - 34:52 : Department of Perpetual Studies 34:52 - 49:52 : 8th Wonder of The World 49:52 - 54:43 : Life, After For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios or join our YouTube family https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/join  To buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studios  For fastest updates, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/  Want our content in video formats instead?

Imagine you live in Perfect World. I don't mean 'a' perfect world. I mean Perfect World, the video game. Slowly, the more you play the game, the more its adventurous valleys and roles take you into an alternate world, and the easier it becomes for you to forget the very real, imperfect world around you. This scenario, as dystopian as it may sound, was the very real state of mind of a young, Bangladeshi-Canadian boy unable to reconcile Perfect World with his world. This is the story of the Toronto quadruple murder. This is the story of Menhaz Zaman.

Mountains have a rapport for mysteries and hauntings. It's as if all the world's eeriness finds refuge in these hill stations. Folk tales of spirits and serial killers run amok. But there is one hill station in India in particular which is infamous for mishaps and mysteries. Every year, there is some story about a haunting, kidnapping and even murder taking place here. This is the story of a small hilly town in Maharashtra where kids don't step out after sundown, this is the story of the mysterious murder in Matheran.

[RECAST] Beginning next week, we will be releasing the new slate of Desi Crime episodes. We spent the last month researching and writing new scripts, hence been uploading video versions of older episodes. Can't wait for y'all to watch some of the upcoming bangers. Stay crazy, stay desi!When we cover these cases, the ones that hit the hardest are the ones where we can clearly see there was deep rooted and long lasting injustice. Cases where those responsible for protecting us, our parents, our schools, our police, are the ones who are the perpetrators of this injustice. If you feel this way too, this case is your worst nightmare come to life; a nightmare one 14 year old girl had to live through 31 years ago. This is a case that shook India to its core. This is the story of Ruchika Girhotra.

[RECAST EPISODE] The case that we have for you today is as much about the crime as it is about what happened following the crime. It is about death as much as it is about life. It is about morality and ethics and the society we seek to create as much as it is about punishment and sentences and justice. A case that will come to be discussed for generations now in every Indian class on the law. This is the story of a 25 year old nurse and the one night that changed it all. This is the story of Aruna Shanbaug.

[RECAST EPISODE] This is a bonus episode with video. Love triangles…a concept in existence for as long as love itself. But love triangles, unlike love, are controversial. They're viewed as scandalous, calculated, and deceptive. Perhaps that is because we never hear of happy, successful love triangles. We hear of ones where jealousy and possessiveness take over, only to end in a tale of disaster. This is the story of one such disastrous love triangle that kept India on its toes. This is the story of Neeraj Grover, Maria Susairaj, and Lt. Emile Jerome Mathew.

In part 1 of the story of Rajneeshpuram, you heard the story of Bhagwan Rajneesh's life and his move to the US to a sleepy little town outside of Oregon. You heard the story of his unprecedented town takeover and the all out culture war he now found himself in the middle of. By the year 1983, the residents of Rajneeshpuram and Antelope were armed against each other and more dangerous than ever before. As this culture war would unfold, crimes would unfold too, making the plot more sinister and macabre. And to hear this story unfold, welcome back to part 2 of the story of Osho.

Imagine you're living in a small middle town in the state of Oregon in 1981. Living in a ranching town with just about 50 people, you were most probably white. Life was quiet and life was simple but life was good for you there. Until one day, something seemed different. Cars and people, including Rolls Royces show up at your small sleepy town. And the people seem different— dressed in reddish orange robes, they chant music, hold ceremonial events, even have the roads around them closed off, and from there things only get weirder and scarier and more illegal. This is the story of one such sleepy American town and the one man who changed it all. This is the story of Osho. For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios or join our YouTube family https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/joinTo buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studiosFor fastest updates, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/Want our content in video formats instead?

This email was sent to 11 people on the campus. The recipients included a student and some authorities. It was sent by a second year sociology student named Anuj Kumar.

On the midnight of 23rd November 1993, a family's massacre jolted Shubham Apartments in the Dum Dum region of Kolkata. When the cops arrived the scene of crime, they realized there was one survivor, 16 year old Sajal Barui. Soon, that notion changed. According to India's Juvenile Justice Act, a person under the age of 18 is viewed as a minor, and is tried as such when they commit a crime. But there are a few rare cases that blur the moral distinction between a child and an adult, a minor versus a mature person, a kid as opposed to a killer. On the midnight of 23rd November 1993, those lines were blurred forever.For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios or join our YouTube family https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/joinTo buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studiosFor fastest updates, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/Want our content in video formats instead?

Sandese Aate Hain is a beautiful, old bollywood song. This song is from the movie Border, which hit theaters across the country in June of 1997. That June of 1997, Border was also playing inside one of Delhi's most famous cinema halls– The Uphaar Grand. By the time the song played and got over though, 59 people had died in the cinema. This is the story of one of India's most infamous fires. This is the story of the Uphaar Grand.

Sometimes, when Indians move to foreign countries, they migrate with dreams in their heart, stepping away from everything they've ever known only to be able to live a better life.

But 2 decades later, every dream they ever came with was going to come crashing down the night their son disappeared. This is the story of that night. This is the story of Pravin Varughese. For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at:  https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios or join our YouTube family https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/joinTo buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studiosFor fastest updates, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/Want our content in video formats instead?

This is the story of the man who built a dosa empire that feeds millions across the world, and his ultimate downfall. This is the story of the Deadly Dosa King, P.

[RECAST EPISODE] This episode was uploaded last year, but in light of the recent documentary, we are releasing it as an extra episode that sheds light on the aspects of the case that the documentary did not.

Justice delayed is justice denied. This is a phrase embedded within the very being of every judicial system in the world. Or, at least it should be. Yet the essence of this phrase is sometimes hard to live by. Sometimes comes before us a case so shocking yet so convoluted that not years but decades pass by without a shred of justice. Such is the case of a 21 year old nun from Kerala. A woman whose brutal death in 1992 remained unsolved till December of 2020. This is the story of Sister Abhaya. Buy Our Crazy Desi Merch: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studiosFor extra episodes, bloopers, early access etc, join the Desi Family at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios or join our YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/joinFor updates, bts, case summaries, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/Aryaanhttps://www.instagram.com/aryaanmisra/Aishwaryahttps://www.instagram.com/aishwaryasinghs/

Take a second and think about your mom. You probably smiled a little just now. Everyone's mom is their life's singlehanded superhero. Countless pieces of song, film and poetry have been dedicated to moms; it's a relationship like no other and all dads seem to know they come a close second. So what happens when that very same mom, the one you'd take or fire a bullet for, spirals down into a path of sinister crime, and decides to take you along with her? This is the story of one such mother whose life of crime and lack of remorse turned her 2 daughters into the most infamous criminals the country had ever seen. This is the story of the Gavit Sisters. For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at:  https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios or join our YouTube family https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/joinTo buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studiosFor fastest updates, follow our InstagramWant our content in video formats instead?

Home is supposed to be your safe haven; your bed, the thing you crave coming back to at the end of a long day. Your parents, the people you'd take or fire a bullet for. Between the four walls of a home and around the people you love, exists most of your life. That was all true for 13 year old Aarushi. Little did she know, though, on the night of 15th May, in that very home, those very people were about to conspire to commit murder…her murder. And they were going to succeed, making sure she never saw the light of another day. This is the story of what really went down inside house L-32 in Sector 25, Noida on the night of 15th May 2008. This is the story of Aarushi Talwar. For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios or join our YouTube family https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/joinTo buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studiosFor fastest updates, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/Want our content in video formats instead?

This is the story of the man who created India's first crime show: every week he was on television screens around the nation narrating the exploits of the most devious criminals of the time, until January 10, 2000, when he found himself at the center of a criminal investigation. The difference was, he was no longer researching or hosting this case, but instead living it – in the eyes of the police, the man that covers murder for a living, had just covered up the murder of his own wife. This is the story of how the host of India's Most Wanted, became one of the most Wanted Men in india. This is the story of Suhaib Ilyasi.   Join our Desi Family on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudiosJoin our Desi Family on YouTube (for INR payments): https://youtube.openinapp.link/member   Buy Our Merch: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studios Sources: Suhaib Ilyasi vs State on 5 October, 2018 Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code, 1860 Section 304B in The Indian Penal Code, 1860 Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code, 1860 No longer India's Most Wanted: The rise and fall of Suhaib Ilyasi Suhaib Ilyasi - Wikipedia Suhaib Ilyasi Court Says TV Host Betrayed Not Just His Wife's Faith But Public Too Suhaib Ilyasi v.

Where do you feel the safest in the world? For most of us, the safest place on Earth will be within the four corners of our home. It is the certainty of intimately knowing your surroundings, with its many variables, that makes us feel safe at home. I know that the ringing of the doorbell at 10 PM is the guard asking me to move my car, or tapping sounds are from a pipe I have procrastinated to get fixed. The chances of something going wrong in my own home is minimal, almost impossible. That's why when Yashomati Parekh left her daughter home alone in Kolkata, she wasn't expecting to return to a scene that changed the city forever. This is the story behind India's first execution post Independence. This is the story of Hetal Parekh.

Over the last decade, India has been home to a slew of unexpected, scandalous and devastating suicides with sinister back stories. These suicides, those of Jiya Khan, Pratyusha Banjerjee, Sushant Singh Rajput, Tunisha Sharma and more, weren't just stories of people who gave up on their lives. They were stories of crime, corruption, power, politics and our country's criminal underbelly that led these young people to death. Today, we're covering one such case, a suicide, that shook the country 11 years ago. This is the case of Geetika Sharma and Gopal Goyal Kanda.

The cases you usually hear on true crime podcasts, the ones we usually cover, have a clear perpetrator and a clear victim. One person is in the wrong, the obvious suspect, the “villain” in the case. One person is innocent, the one who has been wronged and whose justice we long for. But then come cases that flip on their head our conception of wrong or right, good or evil. Today's story is of one such case. It is a case of a woman, abused, tormented and emotionally tortured until she snapped. This is the story of Dr. Chamari Liyanage. 

1 bath tub, 3 dead bodies. A marriage in turmoil. A feverish lover. The house on 20 Grass Tree Close, Bridgeman Downs, Queensland Australia holds all the answers. On 22 April 2003, the police are summoned to decrypt this mystery. Clues lay scattered around the residence. But less physical evidence awaits them. The people evidence comes first. A debaucherous father, a complicit mother, and the vendetta of their enemies in Fiji stand in contrast to the wrath of one man – Max Sica. Who killed Neelma Singh, Kunal Singh and Sidhi Singh? Who is behind Queensland's largest every investigation, that some till date question, if it lead to a satisfactory answer? Find out, in part 2 of The Singh Sica Triple Murder.

Home. A word that denotes haven, tranquility and family, but it often transforms into a hell for many. Houses are fascinating, take the cement structure of a home that hides away tales and tragedies, musings and maladies, all while standing upright and resolute. From the outside, a house can cast a certain image and connotations. A tin-roofed hut in a slum for example connotes suffering, ailment, a sick child being nursed by an even sicker mother, wreaking sewage. On the other hand, a grand mansion symbolizes prosperity, wealth, grand dinners and children running around the fireplace and a solemn happiness. But that's not what makes houses fascinating, it is the juxtaposition they offer that does. That slum could very well have a kid studying endlessly under a light bulb while her mother smiles away as she cooks a simple stew. Happiness can easily be found regardless of the exterior. Vis a vis the grand mansion that exudes stature and class can hide behind its walls dark secrets. One such mansion stood on 20 Grass Tree Close, Bridgeman Downs, Queensland Australia. This is the story of its inhabitants and their dark secrets. This is the story of the Singh and Sica family.  Sources: Australian man convicted for killing 3 Indian-origin siblings Massimo Sica - Wikipedia Singh spa bath murders: Three Brisbane siblings brutally killed by Max Sica | news.com.au — Australia's leading news site Triple-murderer Max Sica accuses Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman of blocking his path to exoneration - ABC News 69.
