1
00:00:14,875 --> 00:00:16,458
When Chandrakant would visit us
2
00:00:18,083 --> 00:00:21,375
he would tell us about
his activities in Delhi.
3
00:00:21,958 --> 00:00:25,250
And people from the village
who worked with him
4
00:00:45,875 --> 00:00:47,916
He started committing murders
after moving to Delhi.
5
00:01:03,250 --> 00:01:05,291
he blatantly played with people's lives.
6
00:01:14,666 --> 00:01:17,375
If the whole village is
afraid to talk about it,
7
00:01:18,166 --> 00:01:21,541
and if he himself says that he'll go crazy
8
00:01:22,333 --> 00:01:23,625
if he doesn't commit a murder,
9
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:27,958
that means it must have been
much more in number.
10
00:01:28,041 --> 00:01:31,041
And much more
must have happened in his life.
11
00:01:31,125 --> 00:01:33,041
All of them must have remained undetected.
12
00:01:35,208 --> 00:01:38,458
People would say that
he has murdered around 44 people.
13
00:03:08,375 --> 00:03:10,041
He specifically despised people who lied.
14
00:03:27,458 --> 00:03:30,166
When I learned that Chandrakant
was committing murders in Delhi,
15
00:03:34,416 --> 00:03:38,041
It made us realize that we needed
to keep our distance from him.
16
00:03:38,125 --> 00:03:41,166
He killed Umesh Jha, an innocent man.
17
00:03:41,250 --> 00:03:43,000
He also killed a man named Kapooridas.
18
00:03:54,916 --> 00:03:56,250
He had no bad habits.
19
00:03:56,333 --> 00:03:59,875
Once Champadevi, Chandrakant,
and his brother Kalanand
20
00:04:04,625 --> 00:04:06,333
They took me along with them.
21
00:04:13,375 --> 00:04:16,208
After having a conversation
at length with Kapooridas,
22
00:04:28,250 --> 00:04:30,833
One evening, Kapooridas stepped out
23
00:04:30,916 --> 00:04:33,041
to run some errands in the market.
24
00:04:34,416 --> 00:04:38,000
Chandrakant and his brother
were already there hiding in the bushes
25
00:04:38,083 --> 00:04:39,833
waiting for Kapooridas to arrive.
26
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,500
Kapooridas lost his life.
27
00:05:00,708 --> 00:05:04,041
He might even kill me someday
just like he killed Muralidhar in Delhi.
28
00:05:12,916 --> 00:05:14,125
Word spread here
29
00:05:55,083 --> 00:05:57,458
He worked as a laborer back then in Delhi.
30
00:05:58,833 --> 00:06:00,208
He would lift and carry weights.
31
00:06:06,791 --> 00:06:08,791
He used to drive a rickshaw.
32
00:06:17,416 --> 00:06:20,458
He would enter the market
at night, break into the stores,
33
00:06:20,541 --> 00:06:23,916
carry out robberies,
and drop out of sight.
34
00:06:34,166 --> 00:06:36,166
and another man named
Chandan Kumar Mishra.
35
00:06:40,375 --> 00:06:42,750
After that, I vowed
not to do this kind of work.
36
00:06:45,625 --> 00:06:47,500
He even tried to kill me once.
37
00:06:49,166 --> 00:06:52,833
I refused to carry out robberies with him.
38
00:06:52,916 --> 00:06:55,708
I decided to continue working
where I used to work previously.
39
00:06:56,666 --> 00:07:01,166
I told him I'd rather
work hard all day than steal with him.
40
00:07:02,958 --> 00:07:06,333
He didn't quite like
what I told him, so he tried to kill me.
41
00:07:06,416 --> 00:07:09,666
But before he could do anything
to me, I jumped off the building.
42
00:07:09,750 --> 00:07:13,958
I thought I'd rather have a broken arm
or leg than end up getting killed by him.
43
00:07:15,458 --> 00:07:16,541
So…
44
00:07:21,916 --> 00:07:23,125
There's one thing I'm very sure of.
45
00:07:30,083 --> 00:07:32,250
and figured who was
going to be his next likely victim.
46
00:07:36,208 --> 00:07:38,041
And then he must have groomed them.
47
00:07:38,625 --> 00:07:40,208
That is what it looks like.
48
00:07:41,958 --> 00:07:44,000
In that grooming process,
49
00:07:54,458 --> 00:07:57,041
Maybe he figured how many days
he would have to groom them.
50
00:08:00,250 --> 00:08:02,875
and how everything was to be handled.
51
00:08:06,166 --> 00:08:08,708
He probably did it in such a manner
52
00:08:08,791 --> 00:08:11,541
that it looked like
he was giving care to them
53
00:08:14,416 --> 00:08:15,416
in different forms.
54
00:08:16,708 --> 00:08:19,041
But actually, his intention
was not to do all that.
55
00:08:54,208 --> 00:08:56,833
He always used
to kill people only after tying them up.
56
00:08:56,916 --> 00:08:58,125
SITA RAM
57
00:09:31,041 --> 00:09:33,458
to physically feel brutalized.
58
00:09:34,541 --> 00:09:36,375
You are almost gasping for your own life.
59
00:09:46,333 --> 00:09:48,500
I may feel guilty,
but I don't have remorse.
60
00:09:51,083 --> 00:09:53,333
That is where he now understands both
61
00:09:53,416 --> 00:09:55,916
the lifeless and the life… Vulnerables.
62
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,583
When they undergo
63
00:09:57,666 --> 00:10:00,500
an extreme amount of violence and torture.
64
00:10:33,583 --> 00:10:34,916
My name is Bhidu Jadhav.
65
00:10:36,250 --> 00:10:37,375
I live in Ghosai.
66
00:10:38,541 --> 00:10:40,291
I'm 67 years old.
67
00:10:41,958 --> 00:10:43,833
Chandrakant Jha once told me
68
00:10:53,666 --> 00:10:56,000
So, he rented another house
in the same locality
69
00:11:01,166 --> 00:11:03,166
He took me to Mangolpuri
70
00:11:21,833 --> 00:11:24,041
When we got there and Chandrakant Jha
71
00:11:25,208 --> 00:11:26,041
opened the door…
72
00:11:31,958 --> 00:11:35,041
Murali Shah was also a resident
of our village. We knew each other.
73
00:12:04,500 --> 00:12:05,750
I was shaken.
74
00:12:11,708 --> 00:12:14,625
He took me into the room
75
00:12:15,375 --> 00:12:18,083
and clicked a picture
of his victims along with me.
76
00:12:37,041 --> 00:12:39,958
Chandrakant Jha had
maintained a photo album.
77
00:12:45,916 --> 00:12:49,625
of all the people he had murdered.
78
00:12:53,583 --> 00:12:56,750
If he had caught a victim
and there were others in the room,
79
00:13:00,458 --> 00:13:04,166
And if anyone tried to intervene,
they'd also get caught up as accomplices.
80
00:13:09,333 --> 00:13:13,083
I was famished. I hadn't eaten anything.
81
00:13:17,458 --> 00:13:19,791
as he was going to kill me anyway.
82
00:13:40,208 --> 00:13:41,958
Murali Shah also took
83
00:13:42,583 --> 00:13:45,166
the camera that Chandrakant used.
84
00:13:55,375 --> 00:13:57,541
There was a man named Ashok Shah,
85
00:14:08,708 --> 00:14:10,625
This man right here is Murali Shah.
86
00:14:30,291 --> 00:14:31,708
Murali Shah had taken the camera
87
00:14:37,708 --> 00:14:39,833
he never thought
of printing out the pictures.
88
00:14:40,416 --> 00:14:41,958
And after he died,
89
00:14:42,583 --> 00:14:46,250
his second wife printed out the pictures.
90
00:14:58,750 --> 00:14:59,958
or had wounded eyes.
91
00:15:01,083 --> 00:15:02,666
Their lips were sewed.
92
00:15:05,041 --> 00:15:07,583
Their lips were sealed shut.
It was in the photograph.
93
00:15:11,833 --> 00:15:13,750
You know, these three men in the picture
94
00:15:14,291 --> 00:15:17,083
were all murdered.
95
00:15:17,666 --> 00:15:18,625
It happened in Delhi.
96
00:15:28,125 --> 00:15:30,833
Ashok Shah had shown
the pictures in the album…
97
00:15:32,875 --> 00:15:34,541
to the entire village.
98
00:15:48,833 --> 00:15:51,250
His first interest is
to silence the person.
99
00:16:11,916 --> 00:16:14,250
Now there's one thing that I'm afraid of.
100
00:16:16,500 --> 00:16:19,791
I've shared all the information
I had about Chandrakant
101
00:16:30,375 --> 00:16:32,541
What if he comes after me
102
00:16:42,083 --> 00:16:44,416
I really hope that
he gets sentenced to death
103
00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:47,166
or simply rots in jail till he's dead.
104
00:16:57,333 --> 00:16:59,833
It's unbelievable because I've
never even slapped my child
105
00:16:59,916 --> 00:17:01,625
for doing something wrong.
106
00:17:14,583 --> 00:17:17,333
The album also had
a photograph of the people of our village.
107
00:17:26,500 --> 00:17:28,500
because they were in the picture too.
108
00:17:28,583 --> 00:17:30,041
They were just scared, that's all.
109
00:17:37,958 --> 00:17:40,250
If the whole village
is afraid to talk about it,
110
00:17:45,708 --> 00:17:47,083
if he doesn't commit a murder,
111
00:17:54,083 --> 00:17:56,416
All of them must have remained undetected.
112
00:18:01,250 --> 00:18:04,541
See, if three of them could sit like this…
113
00:18:05,125 --> 00:18:08,083
They're physically disabled
to do anything with him.
114
00:18:08,583 --> 00:18:09,791
After all, he's alone.
115
00:18:10,625 --> 00:18:12,000
He's just one single person.
116
00:18:12,083 --> 00:18:15,875
If three individuals can
be controlled that way,
117
00:18:28,208 --> 00:18:30,958
Terror, maybe verbally or through actions,
118
00:18:31,041 --> 00:18:32,583
or maybe through communication.
119
00:18:33,208 --> 00:18:36,500
Once the terror is communicated,
120
00:18:36,583 --> 00:18:37,666
half of your work
121
00:18:38,833 --> 00:18:39,833
is already done.
122
00:18:41,875 --> 00:18:45,291
Then he can decide and choose whom he
has to finish and whom he has to let go.
123
00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:51,083
If you could put up this photo
as fresh evidence before the court,
124
00:18:51,166 --> 00:18:53,625
the police can still take back the custody
125
00:18:53,708 --> 00:18:56,458
and the court can order
further investigation.
126
00:18:57,916 --> 00:18:59,958
At least that should be done.
127
00:19:00,041 --> 00:19:03,375
Because once the investigation
process begins to proceed,
128
00:19:03,458 --> 00:19:06,250
many more unidentified
129
00:19:09,875 --> 00:19:11,625
Well, that will also help Chandrakant
130
00:19:25,833 --> 00:19:28,958
either given life imprisonment
or they're sentenced to death.
131
00:19:29,708 --> 00:19:31,583
We have requested the court
for a minimum sentence,
132
00:19:31,666 --> 00:19:35,625
whereas the prosecution has
requested maximum punishment
133
00:19:35,708 --> 00:19:37,750
as this case falls
in the rarest of rare category.
134
00:19:38,333 --> 00:19:41,458
Chandrakant Jha has been accused
of committing eight murders in Delhi.
135
00:19:41,541 --> 00:19:45,000
He has been convicted
for three of the murders so far.
136
00:19:49,125 --> 00:19:52,000
And on Tuesday, he was given
a death sentence for another case.
137
00:19:56,125 --> 00:19:58,000
But due to lack of evidence
138
00:20:45,958 --> 00:20:48,416
Chandrakant once quoted,
139
00:20:48,500 --> 00:20:52,250
"The Bhagavad Gita says that
it is not a sin to kill a bad person."
140
00:21:05,625 --> 00:21:07,541
Because as per the prosecution's story,
141
00:21:08,083 --> 00:21:09,458
the people who were murdered
142
00:21:10,083 --> 00:21:11,708
weren't good people either.
143
00:21:12,291 --> 00:21:14,833
Someone was a thief…
144
00:21:14,916 --> 00:21:16,750
Someone was a womanizer…
145
00:21:17,458 --> 00:21:20,791
Someone used to trouble him by eating meat
and leaving unwashed utensils around him.
146
00:21:20,875 --> 00:21:21,708
So, maybe…
147
00:21:22,541 --> 00:21:24,041
he took offense at them.
148
00:21:24,125 --> 00:21:27,750
One of my inferences was that
maybe he is accepting his guilt.
149
00:21:27,833 --> 00:21:32,083
But he never admitted
his mistakes or accepted his guilt openly.
150
00:21:38,875 --> 00:21:42,083
It's not morally correct to be so rigid.
151
00:21:42,708 --> 00:21:47,541
But Chandrakant had extreme opinions
and he was a stubborn man.
152
00:21:58,500 --> 00:22:00,541
he genetically inherited,
153
00:22:00,625 --> 00:22:02,250
from his parents,
154
00:22:02,333 --> 00:22:04,875
some amount of violent environment,
155
00:22:04,958 --> 00:22:07,416
violence, and the environment he had seen.
156
00:22:10,833 --> 00:22:15,041
of a gene or an allele
in his body which has given rise
157
00:22:15,666 --> 00:22:18,916
to him getting attracted to violence.
158
00:22:26,458 --> 00:22:29,166
but it wouldn't necessarily
grow into a plant…
159
00:22:37,083 --> 00:22:41,708
in the process of cultural
and social environment conditioning
160
00:22:43,291 --> 00:22:46,916
It may be in the prison,
maybe in the custody,
161
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,041
maybe in his own
social environment where he lived
162
00:22:50,125 --> 00:22:52,166
with the kind of people around him.
163
00:23:02,791 --> 00:23:07,875
I must say that the man already knows
a lot about how investigations are done.
164
00:23:07,958 --> 00:23:10,250
And he has a sharp memory.
165
00:23:13,458 --> 00:23:18,000
All of us have been surprised
at the amount of knowledge he possesses.
166
00:23:34,083 --> 00:23:35,708
if he gets convicted in court.
167
00:23:54,041 --> 00:23:57,250
Some of the questionnaires
he prepared would weaken his case.
168
00:23:57,333 --> 00:23:59,833
Convincing him to refrain
from doing something was very difficult.
169
00:24:07,625 --> 00:24:11,041
He was kept in prison during his trials.
There were no complaints about him.
170
00:24:11,750 --> 00:24:13,916
I had a feeling that
he was doing that intentionally
171
00:24:18,375 --> 00:24:19,875
He wanted to show he had a clean record
172
00:24:19,958 --> 00:24:22,166
and that he didn't even
pick a fight with anybody.
173
00:24:22,250 --> 00:24:24,083
He wanted to practice good behavior.
174
00:24:33,291 --> 00:24:36,833
He kept up good behavior in prison
and also changed his handwriting. So…
175
00:24:46,666 --> 00:24:48,875
So, this meaningful engagement…
176
00:24:48,958 --> 00:24:51,083
According to him, this is
a meaningful engagement
177
00:24:51,166 --> 00:24:55,250
because the day he wins,
he will win over the system as well.
178
00:24:56,666 --> 00:24:58,416
And his identity will be established.
179
00:25:23,666 --> 00:25:26,291
He bought some groceries for me.
180
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,750
He bought me a stove and even water.
181
00:25:30,833 --> 00:25:32,625
He asked me to cook food
182
00:25:32,708 --> 00:25:34,458
while he was gone.
183
00:26:05,458 --> 00:26:07,125
My name is Bharati.
184
00:26:07,208 --> 00:26:09,166
Anil Mandal was my husband.
185
00:26:15,416 --> 00:26:18,166
and started selling garlic
and other vegetables.
186
00:26:22,875 --> 00:26:25,458
and sometimes he went
to Punjab for agricultural work.
187
00:26:31,791 --> 00:26:34,166
Anil sent me over
to my parents' house for a few days.
188
00:26:34,250 --> 00:26:36,375
When I came back, I found out that
189
00:26:36,458 --> 00:26:39,541
someone had framed him
for some criminal activity.
190
00:26:40,125 --> 00:26:44,166
When I came back home,
he was locked up in prison.
191
00:26:44,250 --> 00:26:46,083
Someone else had to bail him out.
192
00:26:47,458 --> 00:26:49,250
He returned home in the evening
193
00:26:53,875 --> 00:26:56,083
"I'm going to the court,
but I'll be back soon."
194
00:26:57,083 --> 00:26:59,541
But he never returned home.
195
00:27:10,833 --> 00:27:13,791
in search of work or to make some money.
196
00:27:13,875 --> 00:27:16,625
Or maybe he was
put behind bars once again.
197
00:27:16,708 --> 00:27:19,916
I thought he would at least
get enough food in prison,
198
00:27:27,250 --> 00:27:29,791
I thought if my father was in prison,
199
00:27:29,875 --> 00:27:32,208
he would be alive.
200
00:27:32,291 --> 00:27:33,666
Maybe the police weren't letting him go.
201
00:27:39,791 --> 00:27:42,166
So, I started working in the market.
202
00:27:43,208 --> 00:27:45,458
I started rag picking.
I would sell bottles.
203
00:27:49,125 --> 00:27:50,041
Or scraps of vegetables.
204
00:27:50,625 --> 00:27:53,333
The money that I earned
covered up the house rent
205
00:27:53,958 --> 00:27:56,166
as well as the bribe that
cops took from us for visiting.
206
00:27:57,416 --> 00:28:01,291
I used to earn only around five
to ten rupees after working all day.
207
00:28:01,375 --> 00:28:04,291
I could never earn more than that
no matter how hard I tried.
208
00:28:14,666 --> 00:28:16,833
So, she used to take me with her.
209
00:28:16,916 --> 00:28:18,541
Every time we went there,
210
00:28:27,791 --> 00:28:28,916
and told us to visit some other day.
211
00:28:29,708 --> 00:28:32,541
We went to Rohini in search of Anil.
212
00:28:34,708 --> 00:28:38,291
We tried to look for him
in every possible place.
213
00:28:44,500 --> 00:28:49,083
They took at least two thousand or so
every time we went there in search of Dad.
214
00:29:00,125 --> 00:29:01,125
We were just being played.
215
00:29:10,791 --> 00:29:12,958
It’s only been three years
216
00:29:13,541 --> 00:29:16,125
since the police informed us
that Anil was dead.
217
00:29:29,583 --> 00:29:31,791
or even the date is unknown.
218
00:29:40,250 --> 00:29:42,541
My mother told me that
219
00:29:50,291 --> 00:29:53,666
they should have at least
let us identify the body once.
220
00:29:57,208 --> 00:29:59,750
If the police had already
made the death certificate,
221
00:29:59,833 --> 00:30:01,750
that means they had identified the body.
222
00:30:02,958 --> 00:30:03,875
It couldn't be made otherwise.
223
00:30:07,250 --> 00:30:10,541
Now we just believe in the certificate
and what the police have told us
224
00:30:10,625 --> 00:30:12,458
-about Anil being murdered.
-Yes.
225
00:30:12,541 --> 00:30:14,416
Couldn't they inform us about it earlier?
226
00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:17,000
What was the big deal in letting us know?
227
00:30:35,291 --> 00:30:38,125
-We have stopped thinking about all this.
-Yes.
228
00:30:38,208 --> 00:30:40,625
-We have left it in the past.
-We don't think about it anymore.
229
00:30:47,916 --> 00:30:50,666
We wanted to hear
what you knew about all this.
230
00:30:54,166 --> 00:30:57,250
We have left all this behind.
231
00:31:05,166 --> 00:31:07,125
Delhi is a place
232
00:31:07,208 --> 00:31:09,625
where a lot of migrants
come to settle down.
233
00:31:09,708 --> 00:31:11,583
These migrants come to Delhi
234
00:31:12,500 --> 00:31:14,916
to earn a living, and not to die.
235
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,125
They do not have enough money
236
00:31:18,791 --> 00:31:20,708
or a family to care for them.
237
00:31:20,791 --> 00:31:23,875
They didn't have
anyone influential to help them out.
238
00:31:30,291 --> 00:31:33,083
And that was really unfair.
239
00:31:33,166 --> 00:31:36,500
Just because they were migrants,
they went unnoticed.
240
00:31:37,166 --> 00:31:39,666
It may not be the same in this case,
241
00:31:39,750 --> 00:31:42,708
but there are many cases
where such things go unnoticed.
242
00:31:55,291 --> 00:31:57,375
I am not a mental health expert,
243
00:31:57,458 --> 00:32:01,125
but I can tell you using common sense
as a social scientist that
244
00:32:11,541 --> 00:32:14,125
and live in cramped conditions.
245
00:32:14,208 --> 00:32:16,708
Some don't even have
a roof over their heads.
246
00:32:29,791 --> 00:32:34,541
Most of the Bihari migrants are
working in the lowest occupation.
247
00:32:51,750 --> 00:32:53,250
segment of society,
248
00:32:53,333 --> 00:32:55,333
we often tend to shut our eyes.
249
00:33:03,333 --> 00:33:05,041
and this person is going to get convicted.
250
00:33:05,125 --> 00:33:06,666
He perhaps could have done it.
251
00:33:13,958 --> 00:33:15,666
Chandrakant's case was lost.
252
00:33:15,750 --> 00:33:19,000
Similarly, several hundred cases
get lost every year.
253
00:33:19,541 --> 00:33:21,166
And the high-profile cases are
254
00:33:21,250 --> 00:33:24,250
what the media and journalists focus on.
255
00:33:29,083 --> 00:33:30,791
because of their background,
256
00:33:30,875 --> 00:33:32,583
we often tend to lose focus.
257
00:33:43,291 --> 00:33:47,875
if you can go deep enough
to try to understand him and help him out,
258
00:33:57,333 --> 00:33:59,125
pro-social behavior,
259
00:33:59,208 --> 00:34:02,708
and a pro-social value
which can give can an identity to him.
260
00:34:02,791 --> 00:34:04,291
Otherwise, he will not change.
261
00:34:07,458 --> 00:34:10,083
for me to be hopeful
for people like this is…
262
00:34:24,083 --> 00:34:27,500
To become what he is permanently.
263
00:34:31,333 --> 00:34:34,166
this kind of people
to rehabilitation programs,
264
00:34:55,666 --> 00:34:57,458
People had forgotten about this case.
265
00:35:14,916 --> 00:35:16,500
He has been out on parole,
266
00:35:37,416 --> 00:35:38,458
without any hesitation.
267
00:35:39,625 --> 00:35:40,583
I could have done it.
268
00:35:42,166 --> 00:35:45,041
How can I spare someone
269
00:36:05,250 --> 00:36:07,666
At the present moment, his isolation,
270
00:36:10,208 --> 00:36:13,625
whether he should be allowed
to go or he should not be allowed to go.
271
00:36:13,708 --> 00:36:16,916
If you ask legally, then yes,
it is his right and he should be allowed.
