Step back to colonial India in 1925 for the Bawla murder case, the royal scandal that shook the British Raj. When wealthy businessman Abdul Kader Bawla is brazenly shot dead on Malabar Hill, Bombay, the trail leads directly to a powerful Maharaja, a beautiful courtesan, and a daring plot of kidnapping and passion. This is not just a murder mystery—it's a story of love, lust, power, and the downfall of a king. Join us as we unravel this sensational desi crime and examine how one assassination in Bombay exposed the decadent secrets of the princely states. A must-listen for fans of true crime and Indian history.
