The year is 1966. Mumbai, the city of dreams, is dreaming. By day, the city was bustling. But by night, Mumbai's heartbeat changed. Families in the northern suburbs whispered warnings, doors were bolted earlier than usual, and some streets grew eerily silent. Because someone was hunting. Quietly. Brutally. On the sidelines, a young and enigmatic police detective had just taken over the city’s Crime Branch. And what he stepped into was not just a murder investigation — it was a descent into a mind unlike any the force had dealt with before. A mind that believed it was acting on divine command. This is not just a story of murder. It’s a story of paranoia, delusion, and the thin line between madness and evil. This is the story of Raman Raghav.

The platform at Howrah station is always loud. It crackles with the sound of steel, hurried footsteps, impatient whistles. But every so often, something moves within that noise. Something evil. On a cold November afternoon in 1933, a young heir passed through that tide. Surrounded by family, on his way home to a princely estate, he walked — as so many around him did. And like so many others, he might have forgotten the bump of a shoulder, the brush of a sleeve, the feeling of a moment too fast to register. Except he didn’t. Because that day, that brush, that fleeting second — it left behind something no one could see. Something that would turn a routine train journey into one of the most unbelievable true crime stories of pre independent India. This is the story of Amarendra Chandra Pandey.

In a small town in Maharashtra, bodies started showing up one by one. A girl found near a lake. Another dumped behind a temple. Then a woman. Then a child. For over a year, people whispered. About a tree, about blood, about sacrifices. But the police kept treating each case like it stood alone. A murder here, a tragedy there. Until January 4th, 1974 — when someone saw it happen. Not the aftermath. Not the body. The act itself. And with that one eyewitness, the silence of Manvat broke.

Most people today know T-Series as the YouTube titan that took on PewDiePie — the faceless empire behind billions of views and copyright strikes. But long before the meme, there was a man. A man with no playback voice, no filmi surname, and no godfather. This is the story Gulshan Kumar, and how Dawood plotted against him.

The Newington College was a college setup to civilize the India man, make him into a slave of the Western etiquette, stamp out his cultural sensibilities. A college setup for India’s princely youth. But something happened on the night of October 15, 1919 that stamped out the college itself from the annals of Indian history. This is the story of that mysterious gun shot. This is the story of Clement De La Haye.

In the stillness of an English night, a fire flickered to life—small at first, then all-consuming. By the time the flames died down, a man lay unrecognizable, his body burned beyond recognition. One woman stood in the corner, watching this man burn, watching as the past ten years of her life turned to ash, not screaming, not calling for help. As the world would learn of this story, many would come to applaud the fire that was lit that 1989 evening because its flame would give warmth to women across the world. This is the story of that fire, of that man who burned, and of the woman who stood and watched. This is the story of Kiranjit and Deepak Ahluwalia.
