Something louder awoke its residents on the night of 12th October. A roar. A deafening roar, of a lion heaving his last breath. Just a few blocks away from me, the king of bandra’s political scene was being rushed to the Lilavati hospital, a final ditch attempt to save the 66 year old political veteran. Many called him Baba. Thousands gathered outside Lilavati, praying for Baba to make it through. I stood outside the hospital not knowing what was happening, not knowing what Baba meant to these people, not knowing what the eerie tension presaged. This is the story of the Baba of Bandra, this is the story of Bollywood, Bishnoi and Baba Siddique.  THIS IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios or join our YouTube family https:// www.youtube.com/channel/ UCnbfVOYvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/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?

If you’re the heartbreaker’s side of the table, you probably consider yourself the luckier one of the two parties but that’s not always the truth. You never truly know what the heartbroken is capable of doing when pushed to the edge. This is a story that exemplifies that dynamic– one where the heartbreaker seemed too quick to move on and the heartbroken, hell bent on making sure he doesn’t. This is a story that shook London in the late 2000s. This is the story of Lucky Cheema and Lakhvir Singh.

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.

A lot of days are cookie cutter- the same grind for the same goal. That is what February 9th was like for the employees of the Passaic Valley Water Commission treatment facility and their senior engineer— a 43 year old talented Indian American woman. Little did anyone know though, that day would go down in the company’s history as one when everything changed for the worse. Little did anyone know, that was going to be a day of tragedy and death, with a murderer lurking in the shadows under plain sight. This is the story of that day, that office, and that woman.

Air hostess Geetika Sharma's tragic death shocked the nation, and the investigation that followed uncovered a web of alleged harassment by powerful politician Gopal Kanda. What pushed a young woman with a promising career to take such a drastic step? Was it truly suicide, or was there more behind the story? In this video, we unravel the chilling details of the case that gripped the country, but with each revelation, new questions arise. Watch till the end to discover the twists and turns of this scandal—will justice ever be fully served, or does the truth remain buried?

This is the story of India's most notorious, gruesome, and sinister crime that involved kidnapping, cannibalism, rape, pedophilia, and serial murder all at once. Update: According to NDTV, "The high court said the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt for Moninder Panther. Koli, however, continues to be a life-term prisoner for his conviction in one case."  The serial killings took place at Moninder Pandher's home in Nithari area of Uttar Pradesh's Noida between 2005 and 2006, according to the CBI. When children start disappearing in the village of Nithari in Noida, local parents have to band together to force police to look for their children. When police finally listen and take action, they find a suspicious coincidence; all the missing kids were last seen in the same 100-meter area, later dubbed the “black hole” by locals. But what was this “black hole,” that seemed to suck up its victims, never to be seen again? Was someone behind the disappearances? Or was it something entirely different? This is a recast of our YouTube episode dated Oct 26, 2022.

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. On one such bus stop in Norway, in the early morning hours of February 3rd 2010, waited a young Pakistani woman, as she had countless mornings in the past. 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?
