1
00:00:08,208 --> 00:00:10,750
This is Chandrakant Jha, a serial killer.
2
00:00:11,416 --> 00:00:14,541
Fear spread among people
in the years 2006 and 2007
3
00:00:14,625 --> 00:00:18,541
when headless bodies were found
one after the other near Tihar Jail.
4
00:00:18,625 --> 00:00:22,291
The murderer was constantly
threatening the police over phone calls.
5
00:00:22,375 --> 00:00:24,875
This turned out to be
Chandrakant's biggest mistake…
6
00:00:24,958 --> 00:00:26,625
which eventually led to his arrest.
7
00:00:28,708 --> 00:00:30,416
THE CASE OF DEAD BODIES
LEFT OUTSIDE TIHAR JAIL
8
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:32,083
SUSPECTED SERIAL KILLER ARRESTED
9
00:00:34,875 --> 00:00:37,500
This man was really sly and clever…
10
00:00:38,583 --> 00:00:39,583
from the beginning.
11
00:00:41,791 --> 00:00:45,875
As time passed, he began
murdering the people who lied to him.
12
00:00:46,666 --> 00:00:48,875
If he found out someone was lying to him,
13
00:00:50,208 --> 00:00:51,083
he used to kill them.
14
00:01:04,333 --> 00:01:05,833
He did not look nervous.
15
00:01:05,916 --> 00:01:08,125
He did not look like
somebody who was shaken
16
00:01:08,208 --> 00:01:10,000
or somebody who was disturbed at all.
17
00:01:11,833 --> 00:01:14,250
Perhaps, if I would have
met him on the roadside,
18
00:01:14,333 --> 00:01:15,666
I would have never known
19
00:01:15,750 --> 00:01:18,250
that this man could be
involved in something like that.
20
00:01:25,458 --> 00:01:28,333
People have been murdered,
the investigation is in process…
21
00:01:28,416 --> 00:01:32,166
the culprit has been arrested,
yet we do not have any proof.
22
00:01:34,125 --> 00:01:37,833
Calling someone a murderer
doesn't make him one.
23
00:01:37,916 --> 00:01:39,541
Everything needs to be proved.
24
00:01:43,875 --> 00:01:47,500
Chandrakant Jha was such
an experienced killer that he knew that
25
00:01:47,583 --> 00:01:51,333
the information provided to the police
would not be admissible in court.
26
00:01:52,750 --> 00:01:56,958
Now, let me tell you
the actual story that he told me.
27
00:02:41,250 --> 00:02:42,958
I was shocked during the interrogation.
28
00:02:43,041 --> 00:02:46,000
When I asked him his name
during the interrogation,
29
00:02:46,083 --> 00:02:47,833
he said, "Are you Inspector Sunder Singh?"
30
00:02:47,916 --> 00:02:49,000
I asked him how he knew that.
31
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,083
He said to me,
"We'd spoken on the phone that day."
32
00:02:53,666 --> 00:02:57,083
He said I had called him a wicked man,
and he had challenged me to get to him.
33
00:02:58,333 --> 00:03:01,041
He admitted that he lost
the challenge by getting caught
34
00:03:01,125 --> 00:03:03,291
and asked us to spare him.
35
00:03:03,375 --> 00:03:05,875
He said if we beat him
for information, he wouldn't say a word,
36
00:03:05,958 --> 00:03:08,000
but if we spared him,
he'd confess all details willingly.
37
00:03:09,041 --> 00:03:11,666
I told him to speak up
and that we wouldn't beat him up.
38
00:03:13,833 --> 00:03:17,666
Now, let's begin with the story
and all of the details revealed by him.
39
00:03:21,833 --> 00:03:23,625
My name is Chandrakant Jha.
40
00:03:24,875 --> 00:03:28,708
I am from a village named Ghosai
41
00:03:30,125 --> 00:03:31,791
which is in Madhepura, Bihar.
42
00:03:35,041 --> 00:03:39,625
My mother was a teacher and my father
worked in the irrigation department.
43
00:03:43,666 --> 00:03:46,208
This was not his birthplace.
44
00:03:46,291 --> 00:03:49,458
He had moved here with his family.
45
00:03:49,541 --> 00:03:52,250
My name is Devnarayan Paswan.
46
00:03:52,333 --> 00:03:55,833
I've known Chandrakant
for quite a few years now.
47
00:03:58,416 --> 00:04:00,291
Since we were around six years old.
48
00:04:00,375 --> 00:04:04,791
We were childhood friends.
49
00:04:05,375 --> 00:04:07,916
I knew him since the time he moved here.
50
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,666
GHOSAI VILLAGE
51
00:04:12,958 --> 00:04:16,625
His mother's name was Champadevi.
52
00:04:18,708 --> 00:04:20,875
Champadevi had six sons.
53
00:04:21,541 --> 00:04:24,416
The eldest son was Nityanand,
then came Indranand,
54
00:04:25,041 --> 00:04:25,916
Chandranand,
55
00:04:26,541 --> 00:04:29,916
Kalanand, Sadanand,
and the last one was Deepak Kumar.
56
00:04:30,916 --> 00:04:33,458
My name is Akhilesh Sharma.
57
00:04:35,916 --> 00:04:37,375
I was Nityanand's friend.
58
00:04:40,250 --> 00:04:42,250
We studied in the same school.
59
00:04:42,333 --> 00:04:46,208
We grew up together
and so, we were really close.
60
00:04:48,875 --> 00:04:51,625
All of Champadevi's children were tall,
61
00:04:52,208 --> 00:04:53,833
brawny,
62
00:04:54,583 --> 00:04:55,958
and well-built.
63
00:04:56,875 --> 00:04:58,625
I found them selfish.
64
00:05:00,416 --> 00:05:04,125
My parents never
looked after me or my studies.
65
00:05:08,208 --> 00:05:10,375
So I developed hatred towards them.
66
00:05:12,458 --> 00:05:14,458
Later, I decided
to move out of the village
67
00:05:16,083 --> 00:05:17,958
and came to Delhi.
68
00:05:31,083 --> 00:05:34,458
Out of 50% of the homes in Bihar,
69
00:05:34,541 --> 00:05:37,416
there's at least one member
in each family who's a migrant.
70
00:05:39,250 --> 00:05:42,791
When someone migrates to a new place,
be it from Bihar or anywhere else…
71
00:05:42,875 --> 00:05:44,833
But right now, let's talk about Bihar.
72
00:05:44,916 --> 00:05:46,875
They always migrate
through someone's reference.
73
00:05:48,791 --> 00:05:52,041
There's always someone they know
at the place they have moved to.
74
00:05:53,250 --> 00:05:57,208
Someone who offered them
to migrate and work along with them.
75
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,125
And once they're here,
76
00:06:00,208 --> 00:06:03,375
they stay with the people who have
already migrated here from their village.
77
00:06:03,458 --> 00:06:04,916
And that's why
78
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,458
you see that people
from the same village or district
79
00:06:08,541 --> 00:06:11,083
move into the same area.
80
00:06:12,208 --> 00:06:14,208
Generally, they are the ones
who get them employment.
81
00:06:20,958 --> 00:06:25,541
When I moved here, I saw some known faces
working in Azadpur Mandi, Delhi.
82
00:06:26,291 --> 00:06:29,708
I began to work there
as a laborer and a vegetable seller.
83
00:06:37,041 --> 00:06:40,625
The judge called me up and appointed me
as the amicus curiae for this case.
84
00:06:40,708 --> 00:06:43,625
He asked me to meet Chandrakant
and take a brief from him.
85
00:06:43,708 --> 00:06:46,500
I was given the duty
of defending him in this case.
86
00:06:46,583 --> 00:06:50,083
He told me he has a family
which includes his wife and five children.
87
00:06:50,166 --> 00:06:52,416
How was it possible
for him to murder someone
88
00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:55,750
and dispose of their body parts
without his family knowing?
89
00:06:59,291 --> 00:07:02,250
He earned a livelihood as a laborer.
90
00:07:02,333 --> 00:07:04,333
He took up different jobs.
91
00:07:05,166 --> 00:07:06,250
First, he worked as a vegetable seller.
92
00:07:06,833 --> 00:07:10,500
But the police posed problems for him.
93
00:07:10,583 --> 00:07:13,250
He alleged that the police
demanded money from him.
94
00:07:13,333 --> 00:07:16,416
From the time he began selling vegetables,
95
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:20,375
the police harassed him and never
let him sell vegetables peacefully.
96
00:07:22,291 --> 00:07:24,416
If he didn't sell any vegetables that day,
97
00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:26,875
he wouldn't be able to feed his family.
98
00:07:28,375 --> 00:07:29,958
The police start
to demand protection money
99
00:07:30,708 --> 00:07:33,416
from a person who is settled
and whose business is doing well.
100
00:07:36,250 --> 00:07:39,416
The lowest category of people
101
00:07:40,250 --> 00:07:41,750
is the Bihari migrants.
102
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:48,000
The people of Bihar
were not equipped with local skills.
103
00:07:48,625 --> 00:07:50,833
So, they used to work as rickshaw pullers,
104
00:07:50,916 --> 00:07:53,416
work as laborers
for loading and unloading goods,
105
00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:55,208
because these jobs
didn't require any expertise.
106
00:07:56,541 --> 00:08:01,041
And hence, the attitude
of the police towards them was worse.
107
00:08:05,833 --> 00:08:06,958
Chandrakant claimed that
108
00:08:07,583 --> 00:08:12,666
the police had demanded
a new motorcycle from him for Diwali.
109
00:08:13,166 --> 00:08:16,375
And that made him despise the police
110
00:08:16,458 --> 00:08:19,666
and bear grudges against the system.
111
00:08:25,458 --> 00:08:28,583
Chandrakant Jha used
to work in Azadpur Mandi.
112
00:08:28,666 --> 00:08:30,875
The people who worked there
113
00:08:30,958 --> 00:08:35,208
formed an association of their own
that was led by a man known as Pandit.
114
00:08:38,833 --> 00:08:41,500
Chandrakant mentioned that their leader
115
00:08:41,583 --> 00:08:44,666
used to take some money
from their wages every month
116
00:08:44,750 --> 00:08:46,750
by telling them that it was the share that
117
00:08:46,833 --> 00:08:49,750
had to be given to the police,
the MCD, and the contractor.
118
00:08:49,833 --> 00:08:51,333
He even spent some of it on himself.
119
00:08:51,416 --> 00:08:54,083
He felt that it was not right,
so he refused to pay money to the leader.
120
00:08:55,958 --> 00:08:58,208
This enraged Pandit
121
00:08:58,291 --> 00:09:00,250
and he began fighting with Chandrakant.
122
00:09:03,291 --> 00:09:06,916
In the ensuing fight, the knife that
Chandrakant used for chopping vegetables
123
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,416
sliced Pandit's hand by mistake.
124
00:09:09,375 --> 00:09:11,958
He filed a police complaint
against Chandrakant
125
00:09:12,041 --> 00:09:15,333
and the police filed
a false case against him.
126
00:09:22,291 --> 00:09:27,750
Chandrakant said that
his wife was also arrested along with him
127
00:09:27,833 --> 00:09:30,625
even though she had nothing to do with it.
128
00:09:41,250 --> 00:09:46,000
That was the moment Chandrakant decided
129
00:09:46,083 --> 00:09:47,625
to murder Pandit for revenge.
130
00:09:51,541 --> 00:09:56,083
And he was the same victim named "Mangal"
who was murdered in the year 1998.
131
00:10:05,250 --> 00:10:06,791
I have five children.
132
00:10:07,583 --> 00:10:10,708
No one in my family is educated.
133
00:10:11,458 --> 00:10:13,416
I live with my family in Alipur.
134
00:10:15,583 --> 00:10:19,166
Chandrakant owned a house in Alipur,
135
00:10:19,250 --> 00:10:22,875
where his wife
and his kids resided permanently.
136
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:29,291
On the other hand, he lived in Haiderpur,
where he went on a murdering spree.
137
00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:35,791
He told us about his pattern of killing
138
00:10:35,875 --> 00:10:39,000
after we asked him a few questions
as a part of our interrogation.
139
00:10:46,583 --> 00:10:49,666
Chandrakant mentioned that initially,
he used to befriend his victims,
140
00:10:50,333 --> 00:10:51,416
treat them as family,
141
00:10:53,375 --> 00:10:57,166
take them into confidence
and get every detail from them.
142
00:11:04,041 --> 00:11:08,208
The first murder that took place
on October 20, 2006,
143
00:11:08,708 --> 00:11:10,750
was that of Anil Mandal.
144
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:17,125
Anil used to spend my money.
145
00:11:18,083 --> 00:11:21,958
One day, he took my daughter
outdoors even though I asked him not to.
146
00:11:23,041 --> 00:11:24,666
And that made me furious.
147
00:11:37,166 --> 00:11:38,625
Chandrakant tied his hands and legs
148
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:41,916
and told him that he was going
to discipline him and slapped him.
149
00:11:42,708 --> 00:11:46,083
But it turned out
to be much more than that.
150
00:12:22,791 --> 00:12:26,916
The next morning, he placed
the dead body on his vegetable cart
151
00:12:27,416 --> 00:12:29,708
after packing it in a basket.
152
00:12:29,791 --> 00:12:32,333
Later, he took the cart
with the dead body on it
153
00:12:32,416 --> 00:12:34,333
and went to Outer Ring Road in Haiderpur.
154
00:12:38,291 --> 00:12:40,708
He got on a DTC bus on Outer Ring Road.
155
00:12:41,791 --> 00:12:44,291
The buses from Outer Ring Road
go up to Tilak Nagar.
156
00:12:44,375 --> 00:12:47,291
When he reached the flyover,
he got down from the bus
157
00:12:47,833 --> 00:12:49,833
and got into an auto-rickshaw.
158
00:12:53,583 --> 00:12:57,916
He confirmed if Constable Balbir was there
before dropping off the dead body.
159
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,958
He then left the dead body
at gate number three of Tihar Jail
160
00:13:02,041 --> 00:13:04,666
where Balbir was posted on duty.
161
00:13:04,750 --> 00:13:07,250
TIHAR JAIL, GATE NUMBER 3
162
00:13:07,333 --> 00:13:10,875
He then went to a payphone
in Nangal Raya and made a phone call.
163
00:13:15,125 --> 00:13:19,458
He said that he punished people
based on their actions.
164
00:13:21,125 --> 00:13:23,166
And he did this for purging their sins.
165
00:13:24,541 --> 00:13:27,833
And for that reason,
Chandrakant claimed to have
166
00:13:27,916 --> 00:13:33,250
severed their heads
and thrown them into River Yamuna.
167
00:14:00,083 --> 00:14:04,833
The second murder
took place on 25th April 2007.
168
00:14:04,916 --> 00:14:06,375
The victim was Upender.
169
00:14:08,791 --> 00:14:11,875
This guy was dismissed
from the service where he was working.
170
00:14:12,458 --> 00:14:14,708
So, he had a problem.
Now Chandrakant helps him.
171
00:14:15,666 --> 00:14:20,458
He helps him by letting him stay
with him, and sharing his food with him.
172
00:14:20,541 --> 00:14:22,541
But he said his habits were not good.
173
00:14:22,625 --> 00:14:25,750
He quarreled
with Chandrakant over the phone.
174
00:14:26,791 --> 00:14:28,541
I didn't like his character in general.
175
00:14:29,208 --> 00:14:32,291
I took Upender with me
to my room in Haiderpur.
176
00:14:33,125 --> 00:14:34,708
He used to give his victims two chances.
177
00:14:34,791 --> 00:14:38,208
He'd say to them,
"Repent, or your file gets closed."
178
00:14:38,291 --> 00:14:40,166
These were his exact words.
It was a pattern.
179
00:14:40,250 --> 00:14:43,083
And once he told someone
their file was closed, they'd be dead.
180
00:14:54,708 --> 00:14:58,250
I cut off the victim's hands,
legs, and genitals with a big knife.
181
00:15:11,875 --> 00:15:14,791
I dumped one of his legs
outside Shalimar Bagh Mandir…
182
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,041
and the other leg in Swaroop Nagar.
183
00:15:23,250 --> 00:15:25,708
I tossed one of his hands
outside Tis Hazari Court…
184
00:15:28,625 --> 00:15:30,833
and dumped his head in the River Yamuna.
185
00:15:34,083 --> 00:15:36,166
And the victim's torso was disposed of
186
00:15:36,250 --> 00:15:38,583
outside gate number three of Tihar Jail.
187
00:15:38,666 --> 00:15:42,791
GATE NUMBER 3
188
00:15:42,875 --> 00:15:46,666
Chandrakant then said that he was there
189
00:15:46,750 --> 00:15:50,916
when the police needed help
with unwrapping the victim's body.
190
00:16:00,250 --> 00:16:04,708
He said that he would
never fail to recognize my voice,
191
00:16:04,791 --> 00:16:06,666
but I failed at recognizing his.
192
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:13,416
And I asked him why he was disposing
of dead bodies outside Tihar Jail.
193
00:16:14,666 --> 00:16:19,166
Chandrakant answered that
there was a head constable named Balbir
194
00:16:19,250 --> 00:16:20,875
who was posted on duty at Tihar Jail
195
00:16:20,958 --> 00:16:22,166
at gate number three before 2003.
196
00:16:23,208 --> 00:16:26,791
He said that Balbir tortured him
when he was arrested back then.
197
00:16:27,625 --> 00:16:29,666
He also cut down a portion of his meals
198
00:16:29,750 --> 00:16:32,083
and stripped him naked
in front of the other prisoners.
199
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,375
And hence,
Chandrakant wanted him to suffer.
200
00:16:35,458 --> 00:16:37,458
So, he used to drop off a body
201
00:16:37,541 --> 00:16:41,958
exactly where Head Constable Balbir
was posted on duty.
202
00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:49,166
Chandrakant held a lot of grudges
against the police.
203
00:16:49,250 --> 00:16:52,541
He not only wanted to prove
204
00:16:52,625 --> 00:16:55,625
that the police are liars
205
00:16:55,708 --> 00:17:00,458
but also wanted to prove his prowess.
206
00:17:00,541 --> 00:17:03,458
And that being a criminal,
he did his work perfectly,
207
00:17:03,541 --> 00:17:06,208
but the police can't do their job right
208
00:17:06,291 --> 00:17:09,375
and can't work sincerely.
209
00:17:09,458 --> 00:17:11,250
He wanted to prove he was better.
210
00:17:11,333 --> 00:17:15,166
He wanted to show
the police in a bad light
211
00:17:15,250 --> 00:17:19,333
as they couldn't catch him even though
he left dead bodies in broad daylight.
212
00:17:27,958 --> 00:17:30,250
And the last one was a boy named Dalip.
213
00:17:33,583 --> 00:17:36,666
He was staying
with Chandrakant for 15-16 days.
214
00:17:36,750 --> 00:17:38,125
But he says
215
00:17:38,208 --> 00:17:42,625
his faith was completely shattered
in those days because he started lying.
216
00:17:42,708 --> 00:17:45,708
And all of this resulted in him
217
00:17:45,791 --> 00:17:47,416
getting invited over
to Chandrakant's place.
218
00:17:57,791 --> 00:18:00,833
The third murder was of a man named Dalip,
219
00:18:00,916 --> 00:18:03,583
and Chandrakant threw
his torso outside Tihar Jail.
220
00:18:05,708 --> 00:18:10,375
His hands and genitals were dumped
near the gate of Tis Hazari Court.
221
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,041
His legs were dumped in Kishan Ganj Nala.
222
00:18:16,583 --> 00:18:19,958
And lastly, he threw
his head in Ghaziabad.
223
00:18:25,083 --> 00:18:31,083
He says that he draped
a small skirt of his own daughter
224
00:18:31,708 --> 00:18:34,708
and wrapped a red cloth over it.
225
00:18:34,791 --> 00:18:36,958
He kept it in a polythene bag and threw it
226
00:18:37,041 --> 00:18:40,250
and let it flow towards the south
of River Yamuna near ISBT.
227
00:18:49,458 --> 00:18:53,958
He describes the way
he handled the body parts,
228
00:18:54,041 --> 00:18:57,541
and the way he killed them,
229
00:18:58,125 --> 00:19:02,125
and then says
he would repeat it in the future.
230
00:19:02,916 --> 00:19:07,125
So, the experience
of killing the past victims
231
00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:12,875
must evoke these
sensorimotor imageries in his mind,
232
00:19:13,666 --> 00:19:15,583
which is really disturbing.
233
00:19:16,083 --> 00:19:19,916
It gets converted
into a rage and makes him say,
234
00:19:20,666 --> 00:19:23,125
"You are responsible for me doing this."
235
00:19:23,208 --> 00:19:25,125
"It is because of you I have done this."
236
00:19:27,958 --> 00:19:29,666
Now, how does he address the bad feeling?
237
00:19:29,750 --> 00:19:32,625
Because he also knows that
you're a very competent authority.
238
00:19:32,708 --> 00:19:36,083
If I tell you, "You have treated me
like a second-grade citizen,"
239
00:19:36,708 --> 00:19:38,000
you'll think, "You deserve it."
240
00:19:38,083 --> 00:19:39,750
That's what you would tell me.
241
00:19:39,833 --> 00:19:43,916
Though I know I deserve it, I still
expect you to treat me with humility.
242
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,833
If you've not done so,
my anger there is justified.
243
00:19:48,458 --> 00:19:51,791
But I also can't be
continuing without doing it,
244
00:19:51,875 --> 00:19:54,458
and that's the reason he says
he would do it in the future also.
245
00:19:55,041 --> 00:19:58,041
I will send the next gift on time.
246
00:19:58,125 --> 00:20:01,833
Your daddy, C.C.
247
00:20:03,458 --> 00:20:07,500
During the interrogation process,
I questioned him
248
00:20:07,583 --> 00:20:10,291
about his sign, "C.C." in the letter.
249
00:20:10,375 --> 00:20:11,541
YOUR DADDY, C.C.
250
00:20:11,625 --> 00:20:14,541
He said he thought of himself as the moon,
251
00:20:15,125 --> 00:20:17,333
and C.C. is short
for "Chandra" which means moon.
252
00:20:19,541 --> 00:20:23,666
The main purpose of him addressing
to develop his own identity
253
00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:27,333
to challenge us, to see that
the law authorities would recognize
254
00:20:27,833 --> 00:20:30,375
his competence and skill
in doing what he was doing
255
00:20:30,458 --> 00:20:31,916
in such an efficient manner,
256
00:20:32,500 --> 00:20:33,416
had failed.
257
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:36,625
So that is the time
he felt the need to prove it.
258
00:20:38,166 --> 00:20:39,541
I have dropped off a dead body
259
00:20:39,625 --> 00:20:41,750
right in front
of gate number 3 of Tihar Jail.
260
00:20:44,708 --> 00:20:46,750
All these small clues are an indirect
261
00:20:47,791 --> 00:20:50,875
way of telling,
"I failed to control myself."
262
00:20:50,958 --> 00:20:54,583
Now, you're supposed to be
the competent authority from the lot
263
00:20:54,666 --> 00:20:56,541
who can help me in controlling myself.
264
00:20:57,208 --> 00:20:59,208
So, please control me.
265
00:21:00,541 --> 00:21:05,083
"Your daddy, C.C."
266
00:21:05,166 --> 00:21:10,125
He also comes from
a very deprived emotional environment,
267
00:21:10,208 --> 00:21:11,833
deprived social environment,
268
00:21:12,416 --> 00:21:15,083
and he has got very less cohesion
269
00:21:15,625 --> 00:21:18,583
in his family relationship
with his parents.
270
00:21:27,083 --> 00:21:28,333
Chandrakant's mother was a teacher.
271
00:21:29,208 --> 00:21:31,833
She too was mischievous but in a bad way.
272
00:21:33,541 --> 00:21:35,500
She always had the urge to start fights.
273
00:21:37,333 --> 00:21:39,791
Even if you're willing to help her,
274
00:21:39,875 --> 00:21:41,250
you're not going to be spared.
275
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,625
Sooner or later, she would blame you too.
276
00:21:49,125 --> 00:21:50,583
This was how she really was.
277
00:21:52,208 --> 00:21:54,125
She was always up to something.
278
00:21:54,208 --> 00:21:57,750
She would threaten people
and get into conflicts.
279
00:21:57,833 --> 00:21:59,625
She was always making plans.
280
00:22:00,375 --> 00:22:03,375
The kids fended for themselves.
281
00:22:03,458 --> 00:22:04,708
She hardly cared for them.
282
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,166
They were on their own,
283
00:22:09,875 --> 00:22:12,583
and they managed to fill
their stomachs one way or another.
284
00:22:16,583 --> 00:22:18,250
Then Chandrakant moved…
285
00:22:19,750 --> 00:22:20,583
to Delhi.
286
00:22:21,166 --> 00:22:22,666
So that he could earn a living.
287
00:22:33,666 --> 00:22:36,208
He started acting out there as well.
288
00:22:37,791 --> 00:22:39,416
He even killed a criminal in Delhi.
289
00:22:41,083 --> 00:22:44,625
That man was the gangster of that area.
290
00:22:45,583 --> 00:22:47,041
It was his turf,
291
00:22:47,833 --> 00:22:49,666
and he was its leader.
292
00:22:50,833 --> 00:22:52,791
Once, Chandrakant had a fight with him.
293
00:22:55,958 --> 00:22:58,000
There was a wood stove there
294
00:22:58,833 --> 00:23:01,333
which was used
by street vendors for cooking.
295
00:23:01,875 --> 00:23:04,083
The goons began to kick it.
296
00:23:05,250 --> 00:23:07,458
Chandrakant went up
and asked why they were doing that.
297
00:23:08,458 --> 00:23:12,875
The gangster had a criminal mind,
so he couldn't think straight
298
00:23:13,541 --> 00:23:14,875
and stabbed Chandrakant with a knife.
299
00:23:17,041 --> 00:23:18,833
His entire chest was ripped open.
300
00:23:28,916 --> 00:23:31,166
I asked him,
"Partner, how did you survive?"
301
00:23:31,250 --> 00:23:34,000
He said his innards were falling out.
302
00:23:34,083 --> 00:23:36,875
"I picked them up with my bare hands
303
00:23:36,958 --> 00:23:40,500
and used my scarf to stop the bleeding."
304
00:23:41,541 --> 00:23:45,250
"I wrapped myself up
and went to the doctor."
305
00:23:45,833 --> 00:23:49,000
"The doctor treated the wound
306
00:23:49,083 --> 00:23:51,083
and operated on me."
307
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:58,458
When he recovered,
he decided to learn karate.
308
00:24:00,791 --> 00:24:04,083
He wanted to specialize in karate,
so he got trained in it.
309
00:24:07,083 --> 00:24:09,166
He hunted the people down
who attacked him and killed them.
310
00:24:10,208 --> 00:24:13,958
And that was the reason he started
torturing people and committing murders.
311
00:24:15,333 --> 00:24:18,166
Before that incident, his only motive
was to work and earn a living.
312
00:24:21,875 --> 00:24:23,541
He used to stay in Delhi.
313
00:24:25,041 --> 00:24:29,958
And there, he worked as a laborer.
314
00:24:35,166 --> 00:24:39,166
The place he worked at
was almost about four kilometers long.
315
00:24:42,541 --> 00:24:46,000
And the entire place
was lined with trucks carrying goods.
316
00:24:48,375 --> 00:24:50,000
Chandrakant always stopped
317
00:24:51,166 --> 00:24:53,208
near the vehicle that had
the most expensive vegetables.
318
00:24:54,041 --> 00:24:55,708
The rest of the people working there
319
00:24:55,791 --> 00:24:58,333
used to unload the stock
and move them to the warehouse.
320
00:25:00,375 --> 00:25:01,958
Chandrakant, on the other hand,
321
00:25:02,041 --> 00:25:03,791
used to steal the sacks
loaded with vegetables.
322
00:25:08,666 --> 00:25:11,833
He had someone helping him out.
323
00:25:11,916 --> 00:25:15,291
He used to pass
the stolen sacks to his associate.
324
00:25:27,250 --> 00:25:30,208
Later, at night,
he used to sell it at a high price.
325
00:25:32,875 --> 00:25:36,833
His associate was responsible
for selling the vegetables at night.
326
00:25:37,666 --> 00:25:40,375
Once the vegetables were sold,
Chandrakant used to take all the profit.
327
00:25:41,583 --> 00:25:43,375
He'd always buy food for his associates,
328
00:25:44,708 --> 00:25:46,166
but would never give them money.
329
00:25:57,875 --> 00:26:00,958
So, obviously, we wanted
to know his motive.
330
00:26:02,208 --> 00:26:04,791
Because all of his victims
331
00:26:05,666 --> 00:26:07,833
were either from his native place,
332
00:26:08,375 --> 00:26:11,833
or they met him during the course
of his journey and stay in Delhi,
333
00:26:12,416 --> 00:26:14,291
or they met him in Tihar Jail,
334
00:26:14,833 --> 00:26:21,041
or they met him during his judicial days
when he was produced in court.
335
00:26:21,125 --> 00:26:25,708
Some of them were really needy,
and some were totally destitute
336
00:26:25,791 --> 00:26:29,833
in the sense,
that they didn't even have meals to eat.
337
00:26:29,916 --> 00:26:33,166
So, he would invite them over,
he would befriend them.
338
00:26:35,833 --> 00:26:40,458
The unique part is that it never started
with the motive that he will murder them.
339
00:26:44,375 --> 00:26:48,250
It was essentially during his
340
00:26:48,333 --> 00:26:50,916
acquaintance with them,
association with them,
341
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:57,041
that he'd take offense
to certain mannerisms of these victims.
342
00:27:01,208 --> 00:27:06,958
And that, of course, conflagrates
into some other small missteps
343
00:27:07,041 --> 00:27:09,791
the victim makes which degenerates,
344
00:27:09,875 --> 00:27:12,625
and where he has a very strong opinion
against these people.
345
00:27:14,125 --> 00:27:17,500
Where he starts feeling that the person is
346
00:27:17,583 --> 00:27:20,750
just a dead load
on the planet or something like that
347
00:27:20,833 --> 00:27:22,416
when he reaches that stage.
348
00:27:25,875 --> 00:27:28,416
So, it is very extreme.
349
00:27:35,375 --> 00:27:39,125
The way he transported
the bodies is quite remarkable.
350
00:27:39,208 --> 00:27:43,791
Transporting bodies 15 kilometers away
on Delhi roads is not an easy job.
351
00:27:44,791 --> 00:27:46,708
Even though it was early morning hours--
352
00:27:46,791 --> 00:27:51,291
There is no set pattern.
As to any season, any particular month.
353
00:27:52,083 --> 00:27:55,083
But it was risky as he could be checked.
354
00:28:12,583 --> 00:28:15,041
Chandrakant threw
the bodies outside Tihar Jail
355
00:28:15,125 --> 00:28:17,666
because he wanted
to make this case sensational.
356
00:28:17,750 --> 00:28:22,000
A press conference was held
for this case by the Joint Commissioner.
357
00:28:22,083 --> 00:28:26,541
In the press conference,
the police claimed
358
00:28:27,291 --> 00:28:29,791
to have solved
the cases of the dead bodies
359
00:28:29,875 --> 00:28:31,750
found outside Tihar Jail.
360
00:28:31,833 --> 00:28:35,916
The same killer had also
committed a murder in 1998,
361
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,958
but he was acquitted of that charge.
362
00:28:38,833 --> 00:28:41,958
It was a great morale booster
for the police at the time
363
00:28:42,041 --> 00:28:43,583
to have finally caught Chandrakant.
364
00:28:55,208 --> 00:28:57,375
We had found three dead bodies,
365
00:28:57,458 --> 00:28:59,833
out of which,
the first victim was Anil Mandal,
366
00:28:59,916 --> 00:29:01,750
who was murdered on 20th October 2006.
367
00:29:02,250 --> 00:29:06,541
The second victim was Upender,
whose body was found on 25th April 2007.
368
00:29:06,625 --> 00:29:11,625
And the third victim was Dalip,
whose body was found on 18th May 2007.
369
00:29:13,166 --> 00:29:15,208
Chandrakant also confessed that
370
00:29:15,291 --> 00:29:19,250
in 1998, he had murdered
a man named Pandit alias Mangal.
371
00:29:19,333 --> 00:29:22,250
In 2003, he had murdered
a man named Shekhar.
372
00:29:22,333 --> 00:29:25,750
And in the same year, he had
murdered another man named Umesh.
373
00:29:25,833 --> 00:29:30,375
And later, in 2005,
he murdered a man named Guddu.
374
00:29:33,916 --> 00:29:37,125
When we cross-checked
the period, the date, the time,
375
00:29:37,208 --> 00:29:40,833
and the place, we figured out
that all of these were done by him.
376
00:29:40,916 --> 00:29:42,416
We solved the case
that took place in 2003.
377
00:29:42,500 --> 00:29:43,958
But the other two cases,
378
00:29:44,041 --> 00:29:48,916
Mukhmelpur Nala
and Mangolpuri public toilet,
379
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,916
were untraced as per
what we found in the records.
380
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,791
No investigation happened
as no arrests had been made,
381
00:29:55,875 --> 00:29:57,500
but he confessed about them later.
382
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,166
We'd merely arrested him, and he'd
already started confessing everything.
383
00:30:13,250 --> 00:30:16,916
But his words do not prove
that he is the one behind the murders.
384
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,666
Proper proof is also needed.
385
00:30:22,833 --> 00:30:25,416
Statements given before the police
are not admissible
386
00:30:25,500 --> 00:30:30,541
unless those statements lead
to the discovery of a particular object.
387
00:30:30,625 --> 00:30:33,083
Then it becomes admissible.
Only that part does.
388
00:30:33,166 --> 00:30:34,625
This is the law of evidence…
389
00:30:34,708 --> 00:30:36,458
Of disclosures.
390
00:30:36,541 --> 00:30:37,875
That something which is not
391
00:30:37,958 --> 00:30:40,333
in the knowledge
of the investigating officer
392
00:30:40,416 --> 00:30:42,875
which comes to the knowledge
of the investigating officer
393
00:30:42,958 --> 00:30:44,333
only on the disclosure of…
394
00:30:44,416 --> 00:30:47,125
This information was
privy to the accused only.
395
00:30:47,208 --> 00:30:48,500
Only he could have known.
396
00:30:51,791 --> 00:30:56,166
Now, the thing was
that the murders had taken place,
397
00:30:56,250 --> 00:30:59,833
the investigation was in process,
and the murderer had been arrested,
398
00:30:59,916 --> 00:31:02,375
but we did not have
any evidence against him.
399
00:31:02,458 --> 00:31:06,458
Until there is no evidence, no action
can be taken against the accused.
400
00:31:07,583 --> 00:31:09,583
Chandrakant could change
his statements at any time.
401
00:31:09,666 --> 00:31:11,833
He could say that the police
beat him into a confession.
402
00:31:11,916 --> 00:31:13,458
The court will believe us
403
00:31:13,541 --> 00:31:16,375
only if we present conclusive evidence.
404
00:31:16,958 --> 00:31:18,916
Now, the thing is that
405
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:24,000
all the parts of the dead bodies were
recovered, but their heads were missing.
406
00:31:28,833 --> 00:31:32,458
He had mentioned that he threw
the victims' heads in River Yamuna.
407
00:31:33,083 --> 00:31:35,083
And we had to find them at any cost.
408
00:31:37,458 --> 00:31:39,125
So, we made arrangements to find it.
409
00:31:39,208 --> 00:31:41,458
We had to hire boats
and divers to do the work.
410
00:31:41,541 --> 00:31:44,250
We put in a lot of effort
to find those heads.
411
00:31:47,958 --> 00:31:50,125
Chandrakant took us to a place
412
00:31:50,208 --> 00:31:52,625
from where he tossed
the heads into the river.
413
00:31:53,541 --> 00:31:55,041
So, then…
414
00:31:55,125 --> 00:31:59,125
We tossed a stone into the river
of the same dimension and weight
415
00:31:59,208 --> 00:32:01,000
to predict how far
the heads could have gone.
416
00:32:01,916 --> 00:32:04,166
We started rowing
from that particular point.
417
00:32:12,875 --> 00:32:14,833
I can say one thing for sure.
418
00:32:14,916 --> 00:32:16,833
During the course of the interrogation,
419
00:32:16,916 --> 00:32:19,791
I realized that he was crafty.
420
00:32:19,875 --> 00:32:22,875
He gave us
every single detail of what he had done.
421
00:32:24,125 --> 00:32:26,125
With that information,
we had to find evidence,
422
00:32:26,208 --> 00:32:28,875
but he also intended
on misleading me with it.
423
00:32:33,791 --> 00:32:36,458
We searched that entire area
for two to three days continuously.
424
00:32:36,541 --> 00:32:40,958
We scoured every inch of the place,
425
00:32:41,041 --> 00:32:43,041
but we failed to find any evidence.
426
00:32:48,625 --> 00:32:53,083
That place was unhygienic
and surrounded by flies and mosquitoes.
427
00:32:54,041 --> 00:32:56,333
The water level had dropped too.
428
00:32:57,541 --> 00:33:01,250
Later, we saw two dogs
swimming in the river.
429
00:33:01,333 --> 00:33:05,625
They got out of the water
on the other end.
430
00:33:07,791 --> 00:33:09,708
That made me wonder…
431
00:33:09,791 --> 00:33:13,125
What if the dogs have
dragged the heads out of the water
432
00:33:13,208 --> 00:33:15,500
and thrown them someplace else?
433
00:33:20,291 --> 00:33:23,083
We began investigating
the area around the river.
434
00:33:23,166 --> 00:33:25,458
We started searching the bushes there.
435
00:33:25,541 --> 00:33:28,666
Snakes were coming out
of the bushes, but we kept going.
436
00:33:31,208 --> 00:33:34,875
And all of a sudden, someone said
that they had found something.
437
00:33:35,416 --> 00:33:38,875
We all rushed to the spot
where the evidence was found
438
00:33:38,958 --> 00:33:41,375
and found all the things
he had described in his statement.
439
00:33:54,666 --> 00:33:56,166
I still had a gut feeling
440
00:33:56,250 --> 00:33:59,125
that Chandrakant was misleading us
and this was all part of his plan.
441
00:33:59,208 --> 00:34:01,541
Chandrakant claimed that
the head that was found
442
00:34:01,625 --> 00:34:05,833
was of Dalip,
whom he had murdered on May 18th.
443
00:34:09,041 --> 00:34:10,666
I was still confused
444
00:34:10,750 --> 00:34:12,708
because the skull
was completely dried out.
445
00:34:14,125 --> 00:34:18,833
The skull had no traces
of flesh, blood, or hair.
446
00:34:18,916 --> 00:34:21,291
It couldn't have been Dalip's skull
447
00:34:21,375 --> 00:34:24,750
because he was
freshly murdered on May 18th.
448
00:34:24,833 --> 00:34:26,833
Had dogs scavenged on the skulls,
449
00:34:26,916 --> 00:34:29,291
some amount of blood or flesh
ought to have been there.
450
00:34:29,375 --> 00:34:30,791
But that skull was dry as a bone.
451
00:34:33,583 --> 00:34:38,041
When we were not able to find
the heads of the other victims,
452
00:34:38,125 --> 00:34:39,250
I came up with a suggestion.
453
00:34:40,333 --> 00:34:42,750
I decided to put in a request.
454
00:34:43,708 --> 00:34:48,750
All of the limbs
455
00:34:48,833 --> 00:34:54,583
of the dead bodies as well as their skulls
should be sent to the lab for DNA tests.
456
00:34:57,333 --> 00:35:02,208
We decided to carry out
a joint investigation on all three cases.
457
00:35:02,291 --> 00:35:04,500
So, we sent the bodies
for the DNA test to the forensic lab.
458
00:35:07,875 --> 00:35:12,791
DNA matching sounds pretty cool, but…
459
00:35:13,708 --> 00:35:15,791
If you find an unclaimed body,
460
00:35:16,375 --> 00:35:19,625
you will know the DNA of that person.
461
00:35:19,708 --> 00:35:21,458
You will store it in the future.
462
00:35:21,541 --> 00:35:24,500
Let's assume you find a body.
463
00:35:24,583 --> 00:35:27,416
But you don't have
a national database of DNA
464
00:35:27,500 --> 00:35:32,166
where you can just match it
and find out the identity of the person.
465
00:35:32,250 --> 00:35:36,708
But it was only
when Chandrakant Jha was eventually caught
466
00:35:36,791 --> 00:35:38,666
and when he was interrogated,
467
00:35:39,166 --> 00:35:44,208
we could tally everything
that he was telling.
468
00:35:49,833 --> 00:35:51,291
There is one more technique
469
00:35:51,375 --> 00:35:55,583
where we force the accused
to prove what he's confessing.
470
00:35:55,666 --> 00:35:57,208
We used that technique on Chandrakant.
471
00:35:58,166 --> 00:35:59,333
After that,
472
00:35:59,416 --> 00:36:04,500
Chandrakant started confessing
to every single crime with proof.
473
00:36:04,583 --> 00:36:07,916
But I knew that although he's
confessing it in front of us,
474
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,500
he may not
necessarily confess it in court.
475
00:36:10,583 --> 00:36:12,833
As even in the past,
he was acquitted for lack of evidence.
476
00:36:12,916 --> 00:36:15,541
So, Chandrakant started leading us
477
00:36:15,625 --> 00:36:18,500
and took our entire team
to Haiderpur Colony.
478
00:36:28,083 --> 00:36:32,416
The place he took us to
had around 20-30 rooms.
479
00:36:33,416 --> 00:36:36,083
And no one was living there at the moment.
480
00:36:36,750 --> 00:36:39,041
Some laborers may have been staying there,
481
00:36:39,125 --> 00:36:41,625
but at that time,
they had gone to the factory to work.
482
00:36:42,333 --> 00:36:45,416
RAM SITA
483
00:36:45,500 --> 00:36:48,708
SITA RAM
484
00:36:51,250 --> 00:36:53,791
When we went inside,
485
00:36:54,625 --> 00:36:56,958
there was a weird smell
coming out of that place.
486
00:36:57,041 --> 00:37:00,541
The place was really messy and smelly.
487
00:37:00,625 --> 00:37:03,000
And we found three knives there.
488
00:37:03,083 --> 00:37:06,458
WEAPON
(KNIFE)
489
00:37:06,541 --> 00:37:09,083
When we went to pick up those knives,
490
00:37:09,166 --> 00:37:11,875
we noticed some bloodstains there.
491
00:37:17,958 --> 00:37:20,333
We shot the video
and took photos of that area.
492
00:37:21,625 --> 00:37:24,666
The forensic lab confiscated the knives
and sealed them for further investigation.
493
00:37:24,750 --> 00:37:28,291
Samples of blood
from the floor were taken for testing.
494
00:37:33,125 --> 00:37:35,833
The forensic lab had to scrape the floor
495
00:37:35,916 --> 00:37:39,458
to retrieve the blood samples
for further investigation.
496
00:37:39,541 --> 00:37:43,291
Later, he said that he had
kept a cell phone in a cupboard,
497
00:37:43,375 --> 00:37:45,583
so we confiscated it
and sealed the cell phone.
498
00:37:45,666 --> 00:37:48,875
Then we noticed
some names scribbled on a wall.
499
00:37:51,041 --> 00:37:52,625
We asked him whose names they were.
500
00:37:52,708 --> 00:37:56,625
He said that they were
contact numbers of his acquaintances.
501
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,416
The cell phone that we found
was his personal number
502
00:38:01,500 --> 00:38:06,791
and that was the same cell phone
that we were tracking all this time.
503
00:38:13,416 --> 00:38:15,916
Now we had gathered
504
00:38:16,666 --> 00:38:19,541
a lot of values
of evidence to arrest him legally.
505
00:38:20,333 --> 00:38:22,750
Before filing a First Information Report
against him,
506
00:38:22,833 --> 00:38:25,416
we have to look
for the ingredients for the FIR.
507
00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:27,750
We need to have…
508
00:38:27,833 --> 00:38:29,375
We cannot just arrest anyone.
509
00:38:29,458 --> 00:38:31,916
We need to have
solid grounds for arresting a person.
510
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,291
And now, after the interrogation,
we have grounds to arrest him
511
00:38:35,375 --> 00:38:38,583
as we also had evidentiary values
that the cell phone belonged to him.
512
00:38:38,666 --> 00:38:44,125
Another proof was the three knives
and the blood samples found at that place.
513
00:38:44,208 --> 00:38:48,500
The things that we had found were similar
to the things that he had told us about.
514
00:38:48,583 --> 00:38:52,166
At the time, we had
the grounds for his arrest.
515
00:38:56,208 --> 00:38:57,625
-Come here.
-Move back.
516
00:38:57,708 --> 00:38:59,791
-We wanted to ask…
-Mic!
517
00:38:59,875 --> 00:39:01,125
-I want…
-Tell us.
518
00:39:01,208 --> 00:39:04,291
I want to know why the media
publishes false statements?
519
00:39:04,375 --> 00:39:07,750
-Answer our question. Tell us the truth!
-You answer my question first!
520
00:39:07,833 --> 00:39:09,875
-I've always been telling the truth.
-What's the truth?
521
00:39:09,958 --> 00:39:14,416
First, answer the question
that I asked you!
522
00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:18,666
If you think that we published false news
then you might be the one lying!
523
00:39:18,750 --> 00:39:20,333
Did you ask me before publishing it?
524
00:39:20,416 --> 00:39:23,833
How would you know
where I have been arrested from?
525
00:39:23,916 --> 00:39:27,291
-What's the truth?
-Only I know the truth.
526
00:39:27,375 --> 00:39:29,833
-Why did you murder those four people?
-What?
527
00:39:29,916 --> 00:39:33,291
I may have murdered more.
How would you know there were only four?
528
00:39:33,375 --> 00:39:34,750
Tell us the details then.
529
00:39:34,833 --> 00:39:36,500
I'll speak directly in court.
