EP. 63 – THE DELHI DAHMER: TAKE OF THE SHRADDHA WALKAR
Every now and then, in this country of a booming billion, a crime occurs that captures the attention of the nation. Every now and then, one crime is what everyone can talk about – from conversations over the 2 rupee tea at the roadside chai wala to conversations over a sugar infused diabetes inducing drink at starbucks: one story cuts across caste, class, and creed. In 2021, that story was the Madanapalle Double Murder, and 2022 just found its story as well. This is the story of what went down, allegedly, in a small apartment in Mehrauli’s Chatarpur area; this is the story of Shraddha Walkar and Aftab Amin Poonawala.

EP. 61 – THE NEW YEAR MURDER: JHANVI KUKREJA
As 2020 came to a close, the world came together to mark the merciful end of a tragic year of pandemic tragedy. Families were left in shambles, with loved ones gone too soon and whole communities in relentless mourning. But the end of a year so trying offered hope that the turning of the calendar might allow us to begin anew. The unsuspecting Kukreja family shared that hope, having no way of knowing just how profoundly that New Years Eve would change their lives forever. This is the story of one night and one family, tied together forever. This is the story of 19-year-old Jhanvi Kukreja.

EP. 59 – THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE CHOHAN FAMILY – PT. 2
You’re familiar now with the story of a seemingly loving, happy couple: Nancy and Amarjit were living with their two children in London until the entire family vanished like they’d never existed. Some thought little of it, saying the family had left of their own volition. Nancy’s brother thought otherwise, launching a wild hunt for his family. Much as he tried, Onkar’s search seemed only to bring more questions. But we’re here to give you some answers. Welcome back to part two of the Disappearance of the Chohan Family.

EP. 58 – THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE CHOHAN FAMILY
Sadly, disappearing is not as uncommon as we might hope. Oftentimes, it’s young women like Sneha Phillip, or small children like like Geeta and Sanjay Chopra at the hands of Ranga and Billa; the sorts of cases we cover regularly. What is uncommon is for an entire family to vanish all at once. What happens when it’s suddenly as if three generations never existed? The answer: Scotland Yard spirals into one of the most complex manhunts in UK history, traveling to four countries and collecting thousands of documents to solve a case that turned the country upside down. This is the story of that manhunt. This is the story of the Chohan family.

EP. 57 –THE KOLKATA HOUSE OF HORRORS – PT. 2
Disturbing memories, scrawled in cursive books meant for kindergarteners: “My mother made my sister strip in the bathroom… My mother thinks I am impotent. She wanted to see me develop a relationship. This is why she used to send a maid servant to my room to excite me.” The inscriptions, incongruous with the whimsical books in which they were found. The mother in question is Aarati De, and everything that’s happened over the course of decades at house number 3 on Robinson Street can be traced back to her. What seemed on the surface to be a psychopath on the loose morphs into a far more complicated web. Who killed Debjani, where is Aarati, and what happened to Partho? Welcome to part two of the Kolkata House of Murders.

EP. 56 – THE KOLKATA HOUSE OF HORRORS
Countless true crime stories begin with a family. More specifically, a family gone awry — hate, jealousy, and vengeance seeping in and tearing apart the bonds of blood. But this story is different. This isn’t the case of a family that doesn’t love one another; this is the case of a family that loves one another far too much. What does that mean? This is the story where you find out. It’s a story weaving together suicide, murder, incest, and cannibalism, all into one unbelievable plot. This is the story of Kolkata’s House of Horror.
