00:00:08,250 --> 00:00:10,750
[new reporter]
This is Chandrakant Jha, a serial killer.
3
00:00:11,291 --> 00:00:14,666
Fear spread among people
in the years 2006 and 2007
4
00:00:14,750 --> 00:00:18,583
when headless bodies were found
one after the other next to Tihar Jail.
5
00:00:18,666 --> 00:00:22,083
The murderer was constantly
threatening the police over phone calls.
6
00:00:22,166 --> 00:00:25,333
And these calls turned out to be
Chandrakant's biggest mistake
7
00:00:25,416 --> 00:00:27,125
which led to his arrest.
8
00:00:28,416 --> 00:00:30,166
THE CASE OF THROWING DEAD BODIES
OUTSIDE TIHAR
9
00:00:30,250 --> 00:00:32,083
SUSPECTED SERIAL KILLER ARRESTED
SANJAY RAI, WEST DELHI
10
00:00:32,166 --> 00:00:34,250
[suspenseful music]
11
00:00:34,875 --> 00:00:36,916
[Akhilesh] Chandrakant was a smart boy.
12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,666
He was sly since the very beginning.
13
00:00:41,291 --> 00:00:45,875
As time passed, he began murdering people.
He despised those who lied.
14
00:00:46,625 --> 00:00:49,083
If he found out that someone
is lying to him,
15
00:00:50,166 --> 00:00:51,083
he would kill them.
16
00:00:51,166 --> 00:00:53,166
[suspenseful music]
17
00:01:04,333 --> 00:01:05,916
[Utkarsh] He did not look nervous.
18
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
He did not look like somebody
who was shaken up
19
00:01:08,083 --> 00:01:10,291
or somebody who was very disturbed.
20
00:01:11,833 --> 00:01:14,250
Perhaps, if I would have met him
on the road or something,
21
00:01:14,333 --> 00:01:15,791
I wouldn't have been able to guess that…
22
00:01:15,875 --> 00:01:18,458
that this man could be involved
in something like that.
23
00:01:18,541 --> 00:01:20,583
[ominous music]
24
00:01:25,458 --> 00:01:28,333
A murder was committed,
investigation was in process,
25
00:01:28,416 --> 00:01:32,166
culprit got arrested
and yet we did not have any proof.
26
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,666
[Sunder Singh] Calling someone a murderer
doesn't make him one, right?
27
00:01:36,750 --> 00:01:39,541
Everything needs to be proved
to back this claim.
28
00:01:43,375 --> 00:01:47,541
Chandrakant Jha was such
an experienced criminal that he knew
29
00:01:47,625 --> 00:01:49,458
that the information provided
to the police
30
00:01:49,541 --> 00:01:51,375
would not be admissible in court.
31
00:01:52,750 --> 00:01:56,958
Now, let me tell you the story
that he narrated to me.
32
00:02:04,916 --> 00:02:06,916
[theme music]
33
00:02:28,791 --> 00:02:30,791
[ominous music]
34
00:02:41,083 --> 00:02:43,625
I was shocked during the interrogation.
35
00:02:43,708 --> 00:02:46,000
When I asked him his name, he turns around
36
00:02:46,083 --> 00:02:47,833
and asked me,
"Are you Inspector Sunder Singh?"
37
00:02:47,916 --> 00:02:49,916
I asked him, "How do you know me?"
38
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,583
He said to me, "We spoke on the phone
and you called me
39
00:02:53,666 --> 00:02:57,125
a wicked person, and I challenged you,
'Catch me if you can.'"
40
00:02:58,333 --> 00:03:01,041
"Sir, I admit that I lost to you.
41
00:03:01,125 --> 00:03:03,333
Please do not beat me. If you do,
42
00:03:03,416 --> 00:03:06,000
I won't give you any information,
but if you spare me,
43
00:03:06,083 --> 00:03:08,000
I'll provide the details willingly."
44
00:03:09,041 --> 00:03:11,666
[Sunder Singh] I told him to speak up
and that we wouldn't beat him.
45
00:03:13,833 --> 00:03:17,666
Now, let's begin with the story
and all the details provided by him.
46
00:03:21,833 --> 00:03:23,583
[C.C.] My name is Chandrakant Jha.
47
00:03:24,625 --> 00:03:26,833
I hail from a village named Ghosai
48
00:03:26,916 --> 00:03:31,791
which is located in Madhepura, in Bihar.
49
00:03:31,875 --> 00:03:33,875
[pensive music]
50
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,791
My mother was a teacher and my father
worked in the irrigation department.
51
00:03:43,666 --> 00:03:46,208
[Devnarayan] He had moved in here with us.
52
00:03:46,291 --> 00:03:49,458
This was not the place
where Chandrakant was born.
53
00:03:49,541 --> 00:03:52,250
My name is Devnarayan Paswan.
54
00:03:52,333 --> 00:03:55,916
I've known Chandrakant
for quite some time now…
55
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,750
[murmurs]
56
00:03:57,833 --> 00:04:00,291
…since we were around five
to six years old.
57
00:04:00,375 --> 00:04:04,791
We were friends since childhood.
I've known him since he moved here.
58
00:04:05,375 --> 00:04:07,958
[Devnarayan]
We spent our early years together.
59
00:04:08,041 --> 00:04:09,666
GHOSAI RESIDENT
60
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:11,750
[ambient music]
61
00:04:12,958 --> 00:04:16,625
[Akhilesh] His, uh, mother's name
was Champadevi.
62
00:04:18,583 --> 00:04:21,166
Champadevi had six sons.
63
00:04:21,750 --> 00:04:24,916
The eldest son was Nityanand,
then came Indranand,
64
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,625
Chandranand, Kalanand, Sadanand,
65
00:04:28,708 --> 00:04:30,833
and the last one was Deepak Kumar.
66
00:04:30,916 --> 00:04:33,458
My name is Akhilesh Sharma.
67
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:35,875
[indistinct chatter]
68
00:04:35,958 --> 00:04:37,375
[Akhilesh] I was Nityanand's friend.
69
00:04:40,291 --> 00:04:42,250
We studied in the same school.
70
00:04:42,333 --> 00:04:46,208
We grew up together
and so, we were really close.
71
00:04:48,875 --> 00:04:51,708
All the brothers were tall and…
72
00:04:52,291 --> 00:04:53,833
had a well-built structure.
73
00:04:54,583 --> 00:04:55,958
They were all nice and fit.
74
00:04:56,833 --> 00:04:58,875
[C.C.] All of them were extremely selfish.
75
00:05:00,375 --> 00:05:04,125
My parents were never interested
in my studies and well-being,
76
00:05:08,166 --> 00:05:10,666
so I developed a sense of hatred
towards them.
77
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:14,791
Which is why I decided
to leave the village,
78
00:05:16,083 --> 00:05:18,000
and finally move to Delhi.
79
00:05:19,208 --> 00:05:21,625
[horns honking]
80
00:05:31,083 --> 00:05:33,958
Out of 50 percent of the homes in Bihar,
81
00:05:34,041 --> 00:05:37,416
there is at least one member
in each family who's a migrant.
82
00:05:39,250 --> 00:05:41,041
[Alakh] When someone decides to migrate
83
00:05:41,125 --> 00:05:42,875
to a new place,
from Bihar or anywhere else…
84
00:05:42,958 --> 00:05:44,916
But right now, let's talk about Bihar.
85
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,875
They migrate through someone's reference.
86
00:05:48,791 --> 00:05:52,666
They always have someone they know
at the place they have moved to.
87
00:05:52,750 --> 00:05:55,500
When they return to the village,
they contact the person
88
00:05:55,583 --> 00:05:57,875
who offered them to migrate.
89
00:05:57,958 --> 00:06:00,125
And once they are here,
they stay with the people
90
00:06:00,208 --> 00:06:03,375
who have already migrated here
from their village.
91
00:06:03,458 --> 00:06:07,041
And that's why you see that people
from the same village and district
92
00:06:07,125 --> 00:06:08,458
generally move into the same area,
93
00:06:08,541 --> 00:06:11,083
and they even work in the…
94
00:06:12,208 --> 00:06:14,208
same field as the others.
95
00:06:14,291 --> 00:06:16,541
[suspenseful music]
96
00:06:20,916 --> 00:06:23,541
[C.C.] In Delhi, I saw some familiar faces
97
00:06:23,625 --> 00:06:26,166
from my area working in Azadpur Mandi.
98
00:06:26,250 --> 00:06:29,708
I began to work there as a laborer
and vegetable seller.
99
00:06:37,041 --> 00:06:40,625
The judge called me up and appointed me
as the amicus curiae for this case.
100
00:06:40,708 --> 00:06:43,625
He asked me to meet Chandrakant
and get a brief from him.
101
00:06:43,708 --> 00:06:46,500
I was given the responsibility
of defending Chandrakant.
102
00:06:46,583 --> 00:06:50,083
Chandrakant was a family man
with a wife and five children,
103
00:06:50,166 --> 00:06:53,666
and actually he had committed a murder
and disposed of the body parts,
104
00:06:53,750 --> 00:06:55,750
and even his family members
didn't know about this.
105
00:06:59,250 --> 00:07:01,500
[Deepak]
He earned a livelihood as a laborer.
106
00:07:01,583 --> 00:07:04,500
He took up different odd jobs
to make ends meet.
107
00:07:05,166 --> 00:07:06,333
First, as a vegetable seller.
108
00:07:06,958 --> 00:07:09,500
He faced some problems
while he was doing that.
109
00:07:09,583 --> 00:07:13,250
The police posed problems for him.
He alleged that they demanded money.
110
00:07:13,333 --> 00:07:16,416
He said that since he began
selling vegetables in the market,
111
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:18,500
the police would harass him all the time
112
00:07:18,583 --> 00:07:20,958
and never let him sell vegetables
peacefully.
113
00:07:21,875 --> 00:07:24,416
[Deepak] It would be difficult
for a poor person to feed his family
114
00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:27,375
if he did not earn
a livelihood for that day.
115
00:07:28,375 --> 00:07:31,541
The police begins demanding
more money from a person
116
00:07:31,625 --> 00:07:34,125
who is settled
and whose business is doing well.
117
00:07:36,250 --> 00:07:42,166
The Bihari migrants can be considered
as the lowest category of people.
118
00:07:44,291 --> 00:07:48,000
The people of Bihar
were not equipped with local skills.
119
00:07:48,583 --> 00:07:50,833
[Alakh]
So, they worked as rickshaw pullers
120
00:07:50,916 --> 00:07:53,166
or laborers for loading
and unloading goods,
121
00:07:53,250 --> 00:07:56,041
because these jobs
didn't require any expertise.
122
00:07:56,541 --> 00:08:01,458
Hence, the attitude of the police
towards such people was terrible.
123
00:08:01,541 --> 00:08:04,333
[screeching]
124
00:08:05,833 --> 00:08:06,958
As per the file,
125
00:08:07,583 --> 00:08:10,375
Chandrakant had mentioned that
the police had demanded
126
00:08:10,458 --> 00:08:13,083
a motorcycle from him as a Diwali gift.
127
00:08:13,166 --> 00:08:16,375
And that made him despise the police
128
00:08:16,458 --> 00:08:19,666
and, uh, bear grudges against the system.
129
00:08:19,750 --> 00:08:21,750
[ominous music]
130
00:08:22,791 --> 00:08:25,375
[indistinct background chatter]
131
00:08:25,458 --> 00:08:28,583
[Sunder Singh] Chandrakant Jha
used to work in Azadpur Mandi.
132
00:08:28,666 --> 00:08:32,166
The people who worked there
had formed an association of their own,
133
00:08:32,250 --> 00:08:35,208
which was led by a man named Pandit.
134
00:08:35,291 --> 00:08:37,291
[ominous music]
135
00:08:38,916 --> 00:08:40,250
Chandrakant said that Pandit
136
00:08:40,333 --> 00:08:43,500
used to take some money
from their wages every month
137
00:08:43,583 --> 00:08:47,041
and told them that it was the share
that had to be given
138
00:08:47,125 --> 00:08:49,791
to the police, the MCD,
and other contractors.
139
00:08:49,875 --> 00:08:52,375
He'd even say that he spent
that money on himself.
140
00:08:52,458 --> 00:08:54,541
Chandrakant felt that this was incorrect,
141
00:08:55,958 --> 00:08:57,291
and refused to pay the money.
142
00:08:57,375 --> 00:09:00,250
This enraged Pandit
and the two of them got into a scuffle.
143
00:09:00,333 --> 00:09:03,208
[murmuring]
144
00:09:03,291 --> 00:09:06,416
[Sunder Singh] The knife that Chandrakant
used for chopping vegetables
145
00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:08,875
cut Pandit's arm accidentally.
146
00:09:09,375 --> 00:09:11,958
So he said that Pandit filed
a police complaint against him
147
00:09:12,041 --> 00:09:15,333
and that the police had filed
a false case against him.
148
00:09:15,416 --> 00:09:17,416
[ominous music]
149
00:09:22,333 --> 00:09:28,041
Chandrakant said that his, uh,
wife had also been arrested along with him
150
00:09:28,125 --> 00:09:30,625
even though she had nothing to do with it.
151
00:09:30,708 --> 00:09:31,833
[lock clangs]
152
00:09:31,916 --> 00:09:33,916
[ominous music]
153
00:09:41,333 --> 00:09:45,333
[Sunder Singh] Chandrakant told me that
he had decided that no matter what,
154
00:09:45,416 --> 00:09:48,375
he would definitely kill Pandit
as an act of revenge.
155
00:09:49,416 --> 00:09:51,416
[suspenseful music]
156
00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:54,000
So, Pandit was the same victim
named Mangal,
157
00:09:54,083 --> 00:09:56,166
who was murdered in the year 1998.
158
00:10:05,250 --> 00:10:06,916
[C.C.] I have five children.
159
00:10:07,583 --> 00:10:11,041
My wife and my children
are all illiterate.
160
00:10:11,541 --> 00:10:13,791
I live with my family in Alipur.
161
00:10:15,666 --> 00:10:18,500
Chandrakant Jha owned a house in Alipur,
162
00:10:18,583 --> 00:10:22,875
where his wife and his five kids
resided permanently.
163
00:10:22,958 --> 00:10:24,958
[ominous music]
164
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:27,083
[Sunder Singh] And he lived in Haiderpur,
165
00:10:27,166 --> 00:10:29,333
which is where he went on
a murdering spree.
166
00:10:31,750 --> 00:10:35,833
He began to tell us
about his pattern of killing
167
00:10:35,916 --> 00:10:39,000
when we asked him a few questions,
as part of our interrogation.
168
00:10:39,083 --> 00:10:41,083
[ominous music]
169
00:10:46,583 --> 00:10:50,250
[Sunder Singh] Chandrakant told us that
he first started bonding with the victims,
170
00:10:50,333 --> 00:10:51,708
treated them as family.
171
00:10:53,333 --> 00:10:57,208
And, then,
he started getting into the details.
172
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,208
The first case that was filed in 2006,
on the 20th of October,
173
00:11:08,708 --> 00:11:10,708
was the murder case of Anil Mandal.
174
00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:15,416
[indistinct TV chatter]
175
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:17,166
[C.C.] He used to spend my money.
176
00:11:18,166 --> 00:11:20,291
Then one day,
he took my daughter along with him,
177
00:11:20,375 --> 00:11:22,291
even though I clearly asked him not to.
178
00:11:23,041 --> 00:11:24,666
I got extremely furious at him.
179
00:11:27,583 --> 00:11:29,583
[tense music]
180
00:11:35,333 --> 00:11:37,083
[grunting]
181
00:11:37,166 --> 00:11:39,416
[Hargobinder Singh]
He tied his hands and legs,
182
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:42,625
told him that he was going
to discipline him, and then slapped him.
183
00:11:42,708 --> 00:11:46,083
But, uh, it turned out
to be much more than that.
184
00:11:47,208 --> 00:11:48,500
[grunts]
185
00:11:48,583 --> 00:11:50,833
[groaning]
186
00:11:51,958 --> 00:11:52,833
[thuds]
187
00:11:56,625 --> 00:11:57,791
[clangs]
188
00:11:57,875 --> 00:11:59,875
[eerie music]
189
00:12:03,250 --> 00:12:04,458
[clangs]
190
00:12:04,541 --> 00:12:07,208
[liquid dripping]
191
00:12:08,250 --> 00:12:11,041
[indistinct TV chatter]
192
00:12:12,583 --> 00:12:14,583
[ominous music]
193
00:12:22,750 --> 00:12:25,000
[Sunder Singh]
He told us that the following morning,
194
00:12:25,083 --> 00:12:27,166
he placed the dead body in a basket,
195
00:12:27,250 --> 00:12:30,125
put it on the cart,
and wrapped it up in paper and cloth.
196
00:12:30,208 --> 00:12:32,375
Later, he took the basket
with the dead body in it
197
00:12:32,458 --> 00:12:34,583
and went to Outer Ring Road in Haiderpur.
198
00:12:34,666 --> 00:12:36,375
[motor engine whirring]
199
00:12:36,458 --> 00:12:38,208
[bell rings]
200
00:12:38,291 --> 00:12:40,833
There, he got on a DTC bus
on Outer Ring Road.
201
00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:44,333
The buses from Outer Ring Road
go up to Tilak Nagar.
202
00:12:44,416 --> 00:12:47,250
When he reached the flyover,
he got out of the bus
203
00:12:47,791 --> 00:12:50,041
and got into an autorickshaw.
204
00:12:50,125 --> 00:12:52,125
[suspenseful music]
205
00:12:53,583 --> 00:12:56,166
He looked around
if Constable Balbir was there
206
00:12:56,250 --> 00:12:58,083
so that he could drop off the dead body.
207
00:12:58,166 --> 00:13:01,958
Then he put the dead body
at gate number three of Tihar Jail
208
00:13:02,041 --> 00:13:04,708
and then, he left from there.
209
00:13:04,791 --> 00:13:07,333
TIHAR JAIL
GATE NUMBER 3
210
00:13:07,416 --> 00:13:11,166
Then, he went to Nangal Raya
and made a call from a pay phone booth.
211
00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:13,166
[keys clacking]
212
00:13:13,250 --> 00:13:15,125
[inaudible]
213
00:13:15,208 --> 00:13:19,583
He told us that he punished people based
on their actions, and for their own good.
214
00:13:21,083 --> 00:13:23,166
[Sunder Singh] He claimed to do all this
215
00:13:24,541 --> 00:13:26,250
for the good of those people.
216
00:13:26,333 --> 00:13:30,041
He threw the victims' heads
into Yamuna River
217
00:13:30,125 --> 00:13:33,291
for their own welfare, apparently.
218
00:13:35,708 --> 00:13:37,708
[suspenseful music]
219
00:13:59,875 --> 00:14:04,791
[Sunder Singh] The second murder
took place on 25th April, 2007.
220
00:14:04,875 --> 00:14:06,750
The victim's name was Upender.
221
00:14:08,791 --> 00:14:11,875
[Hargobinder Singh] This guy was dismissed
from the place where he was working.
222
00:14:12,458 --> 00:14:14,875
So, he had a problem.
Now, Chandrakant helps him.
223
00:14:15,708 --> 00:14:20,458
He helps him by letting him stay with him,
he shared his food with him.
224
00:14:20,541 --> 00:14:22,541
But he said that his habits were not good.
225
00:14:22,625 --> 00:14:25,750
He even had a fight
with Chandrakant over a call.
226
00:14:26,875 --> 00:14:29,125
[C.C.] His behavior was not good at all.
227
00:14:29,208 --> 00:14:32,250
I decided to take Upender
to my room in Haiderpur.
228
00:14:32,333 --> 00:14:34,708
Chandrakant said,
he used to give the victims two chances.
229
00:14:34,791 --> 00:14:38,208
Either get reformed
or you will be removed from the file.
230
00:14:38,291 --> 00:14:40,166
These were the exact words he used,
231
00:14:40,250 --> 00:14:43,500
"If I told you, you'd be removed
from the file, it meant, I will kill you."
232
00:14:43,583 --> 00:14:45,625
[muffled screaming]
233
00:14:45,708 --> 00:14:47,708
[tense music]
234
00:14:54,708 --> 00:14:58,250
[C.C.] I cut off his hands,
legs, and genitals with a big knife.
235
00:14:58,833 --> 00:14:59,708
[knife clangs]
236
00:14:59,791 --> 00:15:01,791
[ominous music]
237
00:15:04,625 --> 00:15:05,625
[engine starts]
238
00:15:05,708 --> 00:15:07,708
[suspenseful music]
239
00:15:11,833 --> 00:15:15,000
I dumped one of his legs
outside the Shalimar Bagh temple,
240
00:15:15,916 --> 00:15:18,166
and then the other leg in Swaroop Nagar.
241
00:15:22,750 --> 00:15:26,000
I threw one of his hands
outside Tis Hazari Court…
242
00:15:28,666 --> 00:15:30,916
and then chucked his head
in the Yamuna River.
243
00:15:31,666 --> 00:15:33,500
[water splashes]
244
00:15:34,083 --> 00:15:36,416
[Hargobinder Singh]
He disposed of the victim's torso
245
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:38,583
outside Tihar Jail's gate number three.
246
00:15:38,666 --> 00:15:40,666
[ominous music]
247
00:15:40,750 --> 00:15:42,791
GATE NUMBER 3
248
00:15:42,875 --> 00:15:46,666
Chandrakant said
that after he killed Upender,
249
00:15:46,750 --> 00:15:50,916
he came back again
to that particular murder spot.
250
00:15:51,916 --> 00:15:52,875
[rope snaps]
251
00:15:52,958 --> 00:15:54,958
[tense music]
252
00:16:00,166 --> 00:16:01,875
Chandrakant told me that,
253
00:16:01,958 --> 00:16:04,708
"Sir, I would never fail
to recognize your voice,
254
00:16:04,791 --> 00:16:06,875
but you failed to recognize mine."
255
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:13,416
I then asked him, "Why were you disposing
of the dead bodies outside Tihar Jail?"
256
00:16:14,750 --> 00:16:19,166
Chandrakant replied that there was
a head constable named Balbir,
257
00:16:19,250 --> 00:16:22,166
who was posted
at gate number three before 2003.
258
00:16:23,125 --> 00:16:25,041
[Sunder Singh]
Apparently, Balbir had tortured him
259
00:16:25,125 --> 00:16:26,791
when he was arrested back then.
260
00:16:27,625 --> 00:16:29,375
He also cut off a part of his meal
261
00:16:29,458 --> 00:16:32,208
and stripped him naked
in front of the other prisoners.
262
00:16:33,041 --> 00:16:35,375
That's the reason why Chandrakant
wanted to torture him
263
00:16:35,458 --> 00:16:38,416
and make him suffer.
So, before he dropped off the body,
264
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:41,958
he would ensure that Head Constable
Balbir would be on duty.
265
00:16:42,041 --> 00:16:44,041
[ominous music]
266
00:16:46,500 --> 00:16:49,208
Chandrakant held a lot of grudges
against the police.
267
00:16:49,291 --> 00:16:53,041
Since he had grudges against the police,
he not only wanted to prove
268
00:16:53,125 --> 00:16:55,625
that the police are liars, but also,
269
00:16:55,708 --> 00:17:00,458
uh, wanted to prove his prowess.
He wanted to prove that a criminal
270
00:17:00,541 --> 00:17:03,208
does his job perfectly.
And that the police are wrong
271
00:17:03,291 --> 00:17:05,500
and can't work sincerely.
272
00:17:05,583 --> 00:17:09,416
He wanted to prove
that he was better than the police.
273
00:17:09,500 --> 00:17:12,958
Moreover, he wanted to show
the police in bad light,
274
00:17:13,041 --> 00:17:17,375
as they could not catch him.
And that, even though he left dead bodies
275
00:17:17,458 --> 00:17:19,333
in broad daylight, the police had no clue.
276
00:17:27,958 --> 00:17:30,333
[Hargobinder Singh]
And the last one was a boy named Dalip.
277
00:17:30,416 --> 00:17:32,416
[ominous music]
278
00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:36,666
He was staying
with Chandrakant for 15 to 16 days.
279
00:17:36,750 --> 00:17:38,750
Chandrakant said that this boy
280
00:17:38,833 --> 00:17:42,625
shattered his faith completely
in those 15-16 days because of his lies.
281
00:17:42,708 --> 00:17:47,416
And all of this resulted in Chandrakant
inviting him to his place.
282
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:49,500
[ominous music]
283
00:17:57,916 --> 00:18:00,458
[Sunder Singh] The third murder
was of a man named Dalip.
284
00:18:00,541 --> 00:18:03,666
Chandrakant threw his torso
outside Tihar Jail.
285
00:18:05,666 --> 00:18:08,250
Both his hands and genitals were cut off
286
00:18:08,333 --> 00:18:10,958
and thrown near the gate
of Tis Hazari Court.
287
00:18:12,083 --> 00:18:15,416
Both his legs were dumped
in Kishan Ganj Nala.
288
00:18:16,583 --> 00:18:20,000
And, lastly,
he threw his head in Ghaziabad.
289
00:18:25,083 --> 00:18:29,208
He says that he had draped a small skirt
290
00:18:29,291 --> 00:18:31,583
that belonged to his own daughter
291
00:18:31,666 --> 00:18:34,708
and wrapped a red cloth over it.
292
00:18:34,791 --> 00:18:37,083
He kept it in a polythene bag, threw it
293
00:18:37,166 --> 00:18:40,458
and let it flow towards the South
of Yamuna River near ISBT.
294
00:18:40,541 --> 00:18:42,625
[water splashes]
295
00:18:49,583 --> 00:18:53,291
See, the way he had handled
the body parts, in terms of throwing them,
296
00:18:53,375 --> 00:18:57,541
or the way he claimed that he has killed
that person in the past,
297
00:18:58,166 --> 00:18:59,708
and then the next sentence reads
298
00:18:59,791 --> 00:19:02,125
that he's going to repeat
these things in the future.
299
00:19:02,916 --> 00:19:07,125
Maybe, the experience
of killing the past victims
300
00:19:07,750 --> 00:19:12,875
must have evoked those
sensorimotor imageries in his mind.
301
00:19:13,666 --> 00:19:16,000
[Dr. SL Vaya]
This is really very disturbing.
302
00:19:16,083 --> 00:19:19,916
This gets converted as a rage
and makes him say that,
303
00:19:20,500 --> 00:19:23,125
"You are responsible
for all these things that I've done."
304
00:19:23,208 --> 00:19:25,291
"It is because of you
that I have done this."
305
00:19:25,375 --> 00:19:27,375
[ominous music]
306
00:19:27,958 --> 00:19:29,625
Now, how does he address the bad feeling?
307
00:19:29,708 --> 00:19:32,708
Because he also knows that
you're a very competent authority.
308
00:19:32,791 --> 00:19:36,125
If I tell you that, "You have treated me
like a second-grade citizen,"
309
00:19:36,708 --> 00:19:38,000
you think, "You deserve it."
310
00:19:38,083 --> 00:19:39,750
That's what you would tell me.
311
00:19:39,833 --> 00:19:43,916
Though I know I deserve it, I still hope
and expect you to treat me with humanity.
312
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,958
If you have not done so,
my anger there is justified.
313
00:19:48,458 --> 00:19:51,750
But I also can't be continuing
without doing it,
314
00:19:51,833 --> 00:19:54,458
and that's the reason
I'll be doing it in the future as well.
315
00:19:55,041 --> 00:19:58,000
[C.C.] I will be sending
the next gift on time.
316
00:19:58,083 --> 00:20:01,958
Your jijaji and damad, C.C.
317
00:20:03,458 --> 00:20:07,500
During the interrogation,
I questioned him about his, uh,
318
00:20:07,583 --> 00:20:10,291
um, uh, sign, "C.C." in the letter.
319
00:20:10,375 --> 00:20:11,541
YOUR BROTHER-IN-LAW
AND SON-IN-LAW, C.C.
320
00:20:11,625 --> 00:20:14,833
[Sunder Singh] He said, "I consider myself
as Chandra, meaning the moon.
321
00:20:14,916 --> 00:20:17,666
So, C.C. is the short form
to say Chandra twice."
322
00:20:19,541 --> 00:20:23,708
His main purpose in addressing us
was to develop his own identity,
323
00:20:23,791 --> 00:20:27,333
to challenge us, to see
if the law authorities would recognize
324
00:20:27,833 --> 00:20:30,458
his competence and skill
in doing what he was doing,
325
00:20:30,541 --> 00:20:31,916
with such efficiency.
326
00:20:32,500 --> 00:20:33,500
Everything failed.
327
00:20:33,583 --> 00:20:36,833
So that is the time he felt,
"I must prove myself now."
328
00:20:38,166 --> 00:20:39,583
[C.C.] I have left the dead body
329
00:20:39,666 --> 00:20:42,166
right in front of gate number three
of Tihar Jail.
330
00:20:44,666 --> 00:20:48,750
All these small clues
are an indirect way of saying that,
331
00:20:48,833 --> 00:20:50,958
"I have failed to control myself.
332
00:20:51,041 --> 00:20:54,708
Now, you are supposed to be
the competent authority from the lot,
333
00:20:54,791 --> 00:20:57,125
who can help me in controlling myself.
334
00:20:57,208 --> 00:20:59,208
So, please control me."
335
00:21:00,875 --> 00:21:05,125
[C.C.] Your father and jijaji, C.C.
336
00:21:05,208 --> 00:21:10,125
He also comes from a very deprived
emotional environment,
337
00:21:10,208 --> 00:21:11,833
deprived social environment,
338
00:21:12,416 --> 00:21:15,083
and, uh, he has also got very little
339
00:21:15,625 --> 00:21:18,583
cohesion in his family relationship
with his parents.
340
00:21:24,583 --> 00:21:27,041
[children chattering]
341
00:21:27,125 --> 00:21:28,541
[Akhilesh] His mother was a teacher.
342
00:21:29,208 --> 00:21:32,041
She too was pretty notorious
in her own right.
343
00:21:33,208 --> 00:21:35,833
She had the urge to start fights.
344
00:21:37,375 --> 00:21:39,791
Even if you tried to help her,
345
00:21:39,875 --> 00:21:41,416
she wouldn't spare you at all.
346
00:21:42,083 --> 00:21:45,625
When the time came,
she would file a court case against you.
347
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,750
[Akhilesh] This was how she really was.
348
00:21:52,208 --> 00:21:54,083
She was always up to something.
349
00:21:54,166 --> 00:21:57,208
She would threaten people
and get into fights.
350
00:21:57,291 --> 00:21:59,625
She was always making plans.
351
00:22:00,375 --> 00:22:03,416
The kids fended for themselves.
352
00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:05,041
She never bothered about them.
353
00:22:07,666 --> 00:22:09,291
[Akhilesh] The children were on their own.
354
00:22:09,833 --> 00:22:13,166
They had to arrange for their food.
They even starved sometimes.
355
00:22:13,250 --> 00:22:15,250
[pensive music]
356
00:22:16,625 --> 00:22:18,541
Then Chandrakant moved to…
357
00:22:19,708 --> 00:22:21,041
Delhi.
358
00:22:21,125 --> 00:22:22,666
So that he could earn a living there.
359
00:22:24,208 --> 00:22:26,208
[ominous music]
360
00:22:33,500 --> 00:22:36,208
[Akhilesh] Chandrakant started
with his notorious ways there as well.
361
00:22:37,666 --> 00:22:39,875
He even killed a criminal in Delhi.
362
00:22:41,083 --> 00:22:44,750
That man was a gangster of that area.
363
00:22:45,583 --> 00:22:47,083
It was his turf, and…
364
00:22:47,833 --> 00:22:50,166
he was the leader, the main man there.
365
00:22:51,375 --> 00:22:53,291
[Akhilesh]
Chandrakant had a fight with him.
366
00:22:53,375 --> 00:22:55,375
[tense music]
367
00:22:55,958 --> 00:22:58,208
There was a wood stove, bhati,
368
00:22:58,833 --> 00:23:01,333
which was used by a street vendor
for cooking.
369
00:23:01,875 --> 00:23:04,458
The gangster began to kick it.
370
00:23:05,250 --> 00:23:07,875
Chandrakant asked him,
"Why are you doing this?"
371
00:23:08,541 --> 00:23:12,458
[Akhilesh] The gangster had a criminal
mind, so he couldn't think straight
372
00:23:12,541 --> 00:23:14,958
and stabbed Chandrakant with a knife.
373
00:23:17,041 --> 00:23:18,833
His chest from here to here,
was ripped open.
374
00:23:18,916 --> 00:23:20,916
[ominous music]
375
00:23:21,708 --> 00:23:24,333
[scrunching]
376
00:23:28,916 --> 00:23:31,166
[Devnarayan] I asked him,
"Partner, how did you survive?"
377
00:23:31,250 --> 00:23:34,000
He said that his innards
were actually falling out.
378
00:23:34,083 --> 00:23:37,291
He, then, picked them up
with his bare hands
379
00:23:37,375 --> 00:23:40,250
and used his scarf to stop the bleeding.
380
00:23:41,041 --> 00:23:45,250
And he wrapped himself up
and then went to the doctor.
381
00:23:45,833 --> 00:23:49,000
The doctor treated the wound,
he set the innards
382
00:23:49,083 --> 00:23:51,125
and operated on him.
383
00:23:51,208 --> 00:23:53,208
[ominous music]
384
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:58,625
After he recovered,
he decided to learn karate.
385
00:24:00,791 --> 00:24:04,416
[Akhilesh] Judo, karate.
So he got trained in it.
386
00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:07,000
[nunchaku creaking]
387
00:24:07,083 --> 00:24:09,375
He hunted down those three people
and killed them.
388
00:24:10,208 --> 00:24:14,625
And from here on, he started
torturing people and committing murders.
389
00:24:15,333 --> 00:24:18,791
[Akhilesh] Before that, his only motive
was to work and earn a living.
390
00:24:21,875 --> 00:24:23,750
He used to stay in Delhi.
391
00:24:25,041 --> 00:24:29,958
He worked as a, what do you call,
daily wage laborer.
392
00:24:35,125 --> 00:24:39,250
[Akhilesh] The place where he worked
was almost about four kilometers long.
393
00:24:42,250 --> 00:24:46,208
And the entire place was lined up
with trucks loaded with goods.
394
00:24:46,291 --> 00:24:48,291
[suspenseful music]
395
00:24:48,375 --> 00:24:50,416
He always stopped in front of the truck
396
00:24:51,166 --> 00:24:53,375
carrying the most expensive vegetables.
397
00:24:54,041 --> 00:24:55,458
The rest of the people working there
398
00:24:55,541 --> 00:24:58,333
would be busy offloading goods
and moving them to the warehouse.
399
00:25:00,041 --> 00:25:01,666
[Akhilesh] Chandrakant, on the other hand,
400
00:25:01,750 --> 00:25:04,291
would steal the sacks
loaded with vegetables.
401
00:25:04,375 --> 00:25:06,375
[suspenseful music continues]
402
00:25:08,666 --> 00:25:11,791
Chandrakant always had someone
helping him out.
403
00:25:11,875 --> 00:25:15,541
He would pass those stolen sacks
to his associate.
404
00:25:18,625 --> 00:25:20,625
[tense music]
405
00:25:27,250 --> 00:25:30,125
[Akhilesh] Then later in the night,
he would sell it off.
406
00:25:32,875 --> 00:25:37,083
His associate was responsible
for selling the vegetables at night.
407
00:25:37,750 --> 00:25:40,958
Once the vegetables were sold,
he would take away all the money.
408
00:25:41,625 --> 00:25:43,833
[Akhilesh] He would always buy food
for his associates,
409
00:25:44,666 --> 00:25:46,750
but didn't ever give them any money.
410
00:25:57,833 --> 00:26:00,958
[Hargobinder Singh] So, obviously,
we wanted to know his motive.
411
00:26:02,208 --> 00:26:05,083
Because, uh, all these victims
412
00:26:05,666 --> 00:26:07,833
were either from his native place,
413
00:26:08,375 --> 00:26:12,291
or had met him during the course
of the journey of his stay in Delhi,
414
00:26:12,375 --> 00:26:14,291
or they had met him in Tihar Jail,
415
00:26:14,833 --> 00:26:18,708
or even probably, uh,
during his judicial days
416
00:26:18,791 --> 00:26:21,041
when he was produced in court.
417
00:26:21,125 --> 00:26:25,458
Some of them were really needy,
some were totally destitute,
418
00:26:25,541 --> 00:26:29,875
in the sense that they
didn't even have meals to eat.
419
00:26:29,958 --> 00:26:33,166
So, he would invite them over,
he would befriend them.
420
00:26:33,250 --> 00:26:35,583
[searing]
421
00:26:35,666 --> 00:26:37,958
[Hargobinder Singh]
The unique part is that it never started
422
00:26:38,041 --> 00:26:41,125
with the motive of murdering these people.
423
00:26:44,333 --> 00:26:48,250
It was essentially during his, uh,
424
00:26:48,333 --> 00:26:51,000
acquaintance with them,
association with them
425
00:26:51,083 --> 00:26:55,375
that he would take offense
to certain mannerisms of these…
426
00:26:55,458 --> 00:26:57,041
you know, these victims.
427
00:26:57,125 --> 00:26:59,125
[suspenseful music]
428
00:27:01,208 --> 00:27:05,833
And that, of course,
would blow up into some other, uh,
429
00:27:05,916 --> 00:27:09,791
small mistakes that the victim makes,
which degenerates,
430
00:27:09,875 --> 00:27:13,208
and where he has a very strong opinion
against these people.
431
00:27:14,208 --> 00:27:17,041
[Hargobinder Singh] Where he starts
feeling that this person
432
00:27:17,125 --> 00:27:20,791
is just a dead load on the planet
or something like that,
433
00:27:20,875 --> 00:27:22,541
he reaches that stage.
434
00:27:25,875 --> 00:27:28,625
So, uh, it is very extreme.
435
00:27:29,666 --> 00:27:31,666
[ominous music]
436
00:27:35,375 --> 00:27:39,125
The way he transported the bodies
is quite remarkable.
437
00:27:39,208 --> 00:27:43,916
Transporting bodies 15 kilometers away
on the roads of Delhi, is not an easy job.
438
00:27:44,458 --> 00:27:46,708
[Hargobinder Singh]
Even though it was early morning hours,
439
00:27:46,791 --> 00:27:51,416
there is no set pattern, as to any season,
or any particular month.
440
00:27:52,166 --> 00:27:55,083
But still, it was risky
as he could be stopped and checked.
441
00:28:06,208 --> 00:28:09,125
[indistinct chattering]
442
00:28:09,208 --> 00:28:10,666
[camera shutter clicking]
443
00:28:12,583 --> 00:28:15,041
Chandrakant threw the bodies outside Tihar
444
00:28:15,125 --> 00:28:17,666
because he wanted to make
this case sensational.
445
00:28:17,750 --> 00:28:20,041
[Amit Kumar]
The Joint Commissioner had organized
446
00:28:20,125 --> 00:28:22,000
a press conference for this case.
447
00:28:22,083 --> 00:28:26,875
In the press conference, the police
claimed to have solved the cases
448
00:28:26,958 --> 00:28:29,791
of, uh, the dead bodies that were found
449
00:28:29,875 --> 00:28:31,750
right outside Tihar Jail.
450
00:28:31,833 --> 00:28:35,875
The same killer had also committed
a murder in 1998.
451
00:28:35,958 --> 00:28:37,958
But he was acquitted of that charge.
452
00:28:38,833 --> 00:28:41,958
[Amit Kumar] This was the biggest lead
for the police at that time
453
00:28:42,041 --> 00:28:44,375
as it led them to Chandrakant.
454
00:28:44,458 --> 00:28:46,458
[ominous music]
455
00:28:55,291 --> 00:28:56,958
[Sunder Singh] We found three dead bodies,
456
00:28:57,041 --> 00:28:59,291
out of which the first victim
was Anil Mandal,
457
00:28:59,375 --> 00:29:02,041
who was murdered on 20th October, 2006.
458
00:29:02,125 --> 00:29:06,583
The second victim was Upender,
who was murdered on 25th April, 2007.
459
00:29:06,666 --> 00:29:11,625
And the third victim was Dalip,
who was murdered on 18th May, 2007.
460
00:29:13,166 --> 00:29:15,208
And in addition to all this,
461
00:29:15,291 --> 00:29:18,666
Chandrakant also confessed that in 1998,
462
00:29:18,750 --> 00:29:21,291
he had murdered a man named Pandit
alias Mangal.
463
00:29:21,375 --> 00:29:24,250
In 2003, he had murdered a man
named Shekar.
464
00:29:24,333 --> 00:29:27,416
And in the same year, he had murdered
another man named Umesh.
465
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:31,000
And later, in 2005, he had murdered
a man named Guddu.
466
00:29:33,875 --> 00:29:37,125
When we cross-checked the period,
the date, the time, and the place,
467
00:29:37,208 --> 00:29:40,625
we found that he was instrumental
in all these crimes as well.
468
00:29:40,708 --> 00:29:42,458
The 2003 case was solved.
469
00:29:42,541 --> 00:29:43,958
But the other two cases,
470
00:29:44,041 --> 00:29:48,958
at Mukhmelpur Nala, and the other one
at Mangolpuri Public Toilet,
471
00:29:49,041 --> 00:29:51,791
we found them existing
but they were untraced.
472
00:29:51,875 --> 00:29:55,791
They could not be identified
and no investigation had taken place,
473
00:29:55,875 --> 00:29:57,500
but he confessed about them later.
474
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,166
We had merely arrested him, and he had
already started confessing everything.
475
00:30:13,250 --> 00:30:16,833
But just his words do not prove
that he is the one behind the murders.
476
00:30:16,916 --> 00:30:18,666
Proper proof is also required, right?
477
00:30:18,750 --> 00:30:20,750
[ominous music]
478
00:30:22,833 --> 00:30:25,791
[Varun] Statements that are given
before the police are not admissible
479
00:30:25,875 --> 00:30:30,541
unless those statements lead
to the discovery of a particular object.
480
00:30:30,625 --> 00:30:33,083
Then it becomes admissible.
Only that part becomes admissible.
481
00:30:33,166 --> 00:30:36,500
This is the law of evidence,
of uh, you know, disclosures.
482
00:30:36,583 --> 00:30:38,500
That's something which is not
in the knowledge
483
00:30:38,583 --> 00:30:40,333
of the investigating officer,
484
00:30:40,416 --> 00:30:42,875
which comes to the knowledge
of the investigating officer
485
00:30:42,958 --> 00:30:44,333
after some disclosure.
486
00:30:44,416 --> 00:30:47,125
And actually, this information
was privy to the accused only.
487
00:30:47,208 --> 00:30:48,500
Only he could have known.
488
00:30:48,583 --> 00:30:50,583
[ominous music]
489
00:30:51,708 --> 00:30:54,708
Now, the thing was
that the murders had taken place,
490
00:30:54,791 --> 00:30:59,833
the investigation was in process,
and the murderer had, uh, been arrested,
491
00:30:59,916 --> 00:31:02,375
but we did not have
any evidence against him.
492
00:31:02,458 --> 00:31:06,916
Until there is an evidence, no action
can be taken against the accused.
493
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,500
Uh, he could change his statement
at any time.
494
00:31:09,583 --> 00:31:11,916
He could say, "The police beat me up
to get the information."
495
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,375
The court will believe us
only if we present conclusive evidence.
496
00:31:16,958 --> 00:31:21,666
Now, the main thing is that all the parts
of the dead bodies were recovered,
497
00:31:21,750 --> 00:31:24,000
but three heads were still missing.
498
00:31:28,791 --> 00:31:31,291
[Sunder Singh] He mentioned
that he had thrown the victims' heads
499
00:31:31,375 --> 00:31:32,500
in the Yamuna River.
500
00:31:33,083 --> 00:31:35,500
Now, we had to find them at any cost.
501
00:31:36,958 --> 00:31:39,125
So, we made arrangements to find them.
502
00:31:39,208 --> 00:31:41,583
We hired boats and divers
to get the work done.
503
00:31:41,666 --> 00:31:44,583
A lot of effort was put
into find those missing heads.
504
00:31:44,666 --> 00:31:46,666
[tense music]
505
00:31:47,875 --> 00:31:50,125
Chandrakant took us to a place from where
506
00:31:50,208 --> 00:31:52,666
he had thrown the heads into the river.
507
00:31:53,500 --> 00:31:57,166
So, then we tossed a stone of the same
dimension and weight into the river
508
00:31:57,250 --> 00:31:59,291
to check how far the heads
could have gone,
509
00:31:59,375 --> 00:32:01,000
and how deep they could've gone.
510
00:32:01,916 --> 00:32:04,958
[Sunder Singh] And then, we started
sailing from that particular point.
511
00:32:05,041 --> 00:32:06,958
[birds chirping]
512
00:32:10,458 --> 00:32:12,791
[crickets chirping]
513
00:32:12,875 --> 00:32:14,833
I can say one thing for sure.
514
00:32:14,916 --> 00:32:16,875
During the course of the interrogation,
515
00:32:16,958 --> 00:32:19,833
I realized that he was extremely crafty.
516
00:32:19,916 --> 00:32:22,875
He gave us every single detail
of what he had done.
517
00:32:24,083 --> 00:32:26,625
[Sunder Singh] Now, with that information,
we had to find evidence,
518
00:32:26,708 --> 00:32:29,125
but he also intended
on misleading me with it.
519
00:32:30,166 --> 00:32:32,166
[ominous music]
520
00:32:33,791 --> 00:32:37,875
We searched that entire area
continuously for two to three days.
521
00:32:37,958 --> 00:32:40,250
We scoured every inch of the place,
522
00:32:40,333 --> 00:32:43,125
but failed to find any evidence.
523
00:32:43,208 --> 00:32:46,125
[murmuring]
524
00:32:48,625 --> 00:32:51,916
[Sunder Singh] That place was unhygienic
and surrounded by flies and mosquitoes.
525
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,375
There was a terrible stench.
526
00:32:54,083 --> 00:32:56,583
The water level had dropped, too.
527
00:32:57,541 --> 00:33:01,250
Later, we saw two dogs
swimming in the river.
528
00:33:01,333 --> 00:33:05,750
[Sunder Singh] And we saw them getting out
of the water on the other end.
529
00:33:07,791 --> 00:33:09,708
That made me wonder,
530
00:33:09,791 --> 00:33:13,166
what if the dogs had dragged
the heads out of the water
531
00:33:13,250 --> 00:33:15,500
and thrown them at some distant place?
532
00:33:15,583 --> 00:33:17,583
[suspenseful music]
533
00:33:20,291 --> 00:33:23,083
We began investigating
the area around the river
534
00:33:23,166 --> 00:33:25,458
and started searching the bushes there.
535
00:33:25,541 --> 00:33:28,750
Snakes were coming out of the bushes,
but we still couldn't find the heads.
536
00:33:31,333 --> 00:33:34,875
And all of a sudden, the boys shouted
that they had finally found something.
537
00:33:35,416 --> 00:33:37,666
We all went to the place
where the evidence was found
538
00:33:37,750 --> 00:33:41,541
and saw that the things he described
in his statement were all there.
539
00:33:42,291 --> 00:33:44,291
[suspenseful music]
540
00:33:54,583 --> 00:33:56,250
[Sunder Singh]
But I still had a gut feeling
541
00:33:56,333 --> 00:33:58,541
that he was cheating and misleading us.
542
00:33:59,500 --> 00:34:02,208
Chandrakant claimed
that the head that was found
543
00:34:02,291 --> 00:34:05,833
was of Dalip's,
who he had murdered on 18th May.
544
00:34:09,041 --> 00:34:10,416
[Sunder Singh] I was still confused
545
00:34:10,500 --> 00:34:12,875
because the skull
was completely dried out.
546
00:34:14,125 --> 00:34:17,375
The skull had no traces of flesh,
blood, or hair.
547
00:34:17,458 --> 00:34:18,833
There was nothing at all.
548
00:34:18,916 --> 00:34:23,083
It couldn't have been Dalip's skull
because he was murdered on 18th May,
549
00:34:23,166 --> 00:34:24,750
uh, which was very recent.
550
00:34:24,833 --> 00:34:26,833
Had the dogs scavenged on the skulls,
551
00:34:26,916 --> 00:34:29,291
some amount of blood or flesh
ought to have been there.
552
00:34:29,375 --> 00:34:30,791
But this skull was dry as a bone.
553
00:34:33,583 --> 00:34:38,041
When we were not able to find
the heads of the other victims,
554
00:34:38,125 --> 00:34:40,958
I came up with a suggestion.
555
00:34:41,041 --> 00:34:45,166
And I said, "We will give a request,
556
00:34:45,250 --> 00:34:50,958
that all these, uh, limbs, dead bodies,
and this skull
557
00:34:51,041 --> 00:34:54,583
should be sent to the lab for DNA tests."
558
00:34:54,666 --> 00:34:56,666
[ominous music]
559
00:34:57,375 --> 00:34:59,083
[Sunder Singh]
We now decided to carry out
560
00:34:59,166 --> 00:35:01,583
a joint investigation
on all the three cases.
561
00:35:01,666 --> 00:35:05,083
So, we sent the bodies
for the DNA test to FSL.
562
00:35:07,875 --> 00:35:13,083
DNA matching sounds pretty,
uh, cool, but, uh…
563
00:35:13,166 --> 00:35:15,791
uh, if you get an unclaimed body,
564
00:35:16,375 --> 00:35:19,625
you will definitely know
the DNA of that person.
565
00:35:19,708 --> 00:35:24,500
Let's assume you find a body,
you will maintain its DNA for the future.
566
00:35:24,583 --> 00:35:28,250
But it's not like you have
a national database of DNAs
567
00:35:28,333 --> 00:35:32,166
where you can just match it
and find out the identity of the person.
568
00:35:32,250 --> 00:35:36,708
But it was only after Chandrakant Jha
was eventually caught
569
00:35:36,791 --> 00:35:38,625
and when he was interrogated
570
00:35:39,208 --> 00:35:44,208
that we could tally everything
with the information he had given us.
571
00:35:44,291 --> 00:35:46,291
[ominous music]
572
00:35:49,833 --> 00:35:52,458
[Sunder Singh] There is one more technique
where we force the accused
573
00:35:52,541 --> 00:35:55,625
to prove what he is confessing,
to know if he's saying the truth or not.
574
00:35:55,708 --> 00:35:57,208
So we used that technique, too.
575
00:35:58,166 --> 00:35:59,333
After that,
576
00:35:59,416 --> 00:36:04,500
Chandrakant started confessing
to every single crime with proof.
577
00:36:04,583 --> 00:36:07,916
But I knew that although he was
confessing it in front of us,
578
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,583
he may not confess it in court.
579
00:36:10,666 --> 00:36:12,833
Even in the past,
he was acquitted of charges
580
00:36:12,916 --> 00:36:14,208
because there was no proof.
581
00:36:14,291 --> 00:36:18,500
Anyway, he led us, and took
our entire team to Haiderpur Colony.
582
00:36:28,208 --> 00:36:32,500
[Sunder Singh] The house where he took us,
had approximately 20 to 30 rooms.
583
00:36:33,416 --> 00:36:36,083
And no one was living there at the moment.
584
00:36:36,750 --> 00:36:39,041
Some laborers might have
been staying there,
585
00:36:39,125 --> 00:36:41,833
but at that time,
they had gone to the factory to work.

[camera shutter clicks]
589
00:36:51,250 --> 00:36:53,791
When we went inside, there was, uh…
590
00:36:53,875 --> 00:36:56,958
a very weird smell
emitting from that place.
591
00:36:57,041 --> 00:37:00,541
The smell was really bad.
The place was really messy and smelly.
592
00:37:00,625 --> 00:37:03,000
And we found three knives there.

594
00:37:06,583 --> 00:37:09,083
When we picked up those knives,
595
00:37:09,166 --> 00:37:11,875
we noticed some spots of blood there.
596
00:37:11,958 --> 00:37:13,041
[camera shutter clicks]
597
00:37:17,958 --> 00:37:20,583
[Sunder Singh] We shot videos
and clicked photos of that area.
598
00:37:21,625 --> 00:37:24,666
The FSL confiscated the knives
and sealed them for further investigation.
599
00:37:24,750 --> 00:37:28,875
And samples of the blood from the floor
were then taken for testing.
600
00:37:28,958 --> 00:37:30,958
[ominous music]
601
00:37:33,125 --> 00:37:35,208
The FSL had to scrape the floor
602
00:37:35,291 --> 00:37:39,458
to retrieve the blood samples
for further investigation.
603
00:37:39,541 --> 00:37:42,750
Later, he said that he had kept
a mobile phone in a cupboard,
604
00:37:42,833 --> 00:37:45,666
so we confiscated it
and sealed the mobile phone.
605
00:37:45,750 --> 00:37:48,875
And after that, we saw some names
of people written on a wall.
606
00:37:48,958 --> 00:37:50,958
[ominous music]
607
00:37:51,041 --> 00:37:52,875
[Sunder Singh]
We asked him, "What is all this?"
608
00:37:52,958 --> 00:37:55,125
He replied saying
that these were the contact numbers
609
00:37:55,208 --> 00:37:56,875
of some of his acquaintances.
610
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,416
The mobile phone that we found
was his personal number
611
00:38:01,500 --> 00:38:06,791
and that was the same mobile phone
that we were tracking all this time.
612
00:38:06,875 --> 00:38:08,875
[music intensifies]
613
00:38:13,416 --> 00:38:17,875
Now we had gathered a lot
of valuable and important evidence
614
00:38:17,958 --> 00:38:19,708
to arrest him legally.
615
00:38:19,791 --> 00:38:22,333
Uh, before filing an FIR against him,
616
00:38:22,416 --> 00:38:25,583
we have to look for the contents
for the FIR.
617
00:38:25,666 --> 00:38:27,458
We cannot just arrest someone…
618
00:38:27,541 --> 00:38:28,583
[coughs]
…for fun.
619
00:38:28,666 --> 00:38:31,375
We need to have solid grounds
for arresting a person.
620
00:38:31,458 --> 00:38:35,291
And now, after the interrogation,
we had enough reasons to arrest him,
621
00:38:35,375 --> 00:38:38,583
as we also had evidence values
that the mobile phone belonged to him.
622
00:38:38,666 --> 00:38:40,541
[Sunder Singh]
Another proof was the three knives
623
00:38:40,625 --> 00:38:42,625
and the blood samples found at that site.
624
00:38:42,708 --> 00:38:48,500
The things that we had found were similar
to the things that he had told us about.
625
00:38:48,583 --> 00:38:52,166
In other words, we now had
enough reasons to arrest him.
626
00:38:52,250 --> 00:38:55,208
[indistinct background chatter]
627
00:38:55,291 --> 00:38:57,625

Just move behind.

Come on, come on. Move behind. Hey, mic!

00:38:59,875 --> 00:39:01,166
-Mic, mic! Where's the mic?
-What? One second.
630
00:39:01,250 --> 00:39:04,291
I want to ask the media,
why do you all report false news items?
631
00:39:04,375 --> 00:39:05,333
[reporter 1] No, no. Answer our question.
632
00:39:05,416 --> 00:39:07,750
-No, no! You first answer my questions!
-[reporter 1] Tell us the truth!
633
00:39:07,833 --> 00:39:09,916
-But I have always been telling the truth.
-[reporter 2] What's the truth?
634
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,791
First, you people answer my question
635
00:39:11,875 --> 00:39:14,125
that why do you all report
false news items?
636
00:39:14,208 --> 00:39:16,083
-And then I'll answer your questions.
-If you think that it's false news,
637
00:39:16,166 --> 00:39:18,041
it's because you have not spoken
the truth yet!
638
00:39:18,125 --> 00:39:20,333
Why? Did you ask me before publishing it?
639
00:39:20,416 --> 00:39:22,958
Where I have been arrested from,
you would know and I would know the truth!
640
00:39:23,041 --> 00:39:23,916
-[reporter 1] Listen to me.
-Apply some logic.
641
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,208
-[reporter 2] No, no.
-No, you first answer me.
642
00:39:25,291 --> 00:39:27,333
Where I was arrested from,
would you know what I know?
643
00:39:27,416 --> 00:39:29,833
[reporter 1] No, tell us.
Why did you murder those four people?
644
00:39:29,916 --> 00:39:31,708
How do you know
that I killed only four people?
645
00:39:31,791 --> 00:39:33,333
I could've killed more than four people.
646
00:39:33,416 --> 00:39:34,791
[reporter 1] All right, then,
give us all the details.
647
00:39:34,875 --> 00:39:36,750
I'll speak directly in the court,
not with you.
