92. The Ajmer Rape Scandal - India

The Desi Crime Podcast ·

2023/07/01

Usually, when we cover cases on this podcast, we talk of the stories of a singular victim. A woman raped, a man murdered, a child kidnapped. And that one victim’s story is enough to enrage us; to make us feel sorrow and anger. But what happens when crime organizes itself across a whole city, engulfing more than 500 victims, destroying lives and scarring generations? This is the story of one such crime that has somehow been erased from our common psyche; this is the story of the Ajmer sex

“She said that she wanted a break from the relationship. I asked her if I should at least hope that she will come back. She said no because she wanted to stay single for some time and that might change things for her. I could not accept that.” Parse through any teenage highschooler’s diary, and words like these are all too easy to find. Breaks vs break ups, situationships vs relationships, boyfriend vs ex-boyfriend, these duels define adolescence. We’ve all been through some version of it. But as we

2023/06/10

Love triangles…a concept in existence for as long as love itself. But love triangles, unlike love, are controversial. They’re viewed as scandalous, calculated, and deceptive. Perhaps that is because we never hear of happy, successful love triangles. We hear of ones where jealousy, competition, ego and possessiveness take over, only to end in a tale of crime and disaster. This is the story of one such disastrous love triangle that kept India on its toes and destroyed three lives. This is the story of

2023/05/20

Imagine living in a beautiful, peaceful city in India. Life is going well. You have friends, a city you call home, you go to the movies on the weekends, maybe a family lunch date every now and then. Until, one day, you find the movie halls empty, people in their houses before sundown, terror in the eyes of every passerby, and fear in the hearts of thousands furious to lock their doors and windows before going to bed. This was what happened to the beautiful and peaceful city of Pune in 1976 because

“Don’t take candies from strangers.” How simple a teaching; how elegant. But how difficult for a child to resist a sugary delight; an alpenlibe or melody offered to you for free that to before dinner. Which 6 year old could say no? Had this lesson not been inscribed in our head, we too could’ve fallen for this scheme. If you now think how stupid some kids might be to fall prey to this modus operandi of kidnapping, keep in mind, you’re the same person that once upon a time believed in Santa Claus and

You know that feeling of being young and experiencing your first love? Heightened emotions, the constant need to see them yet feeling your heart flutter when you do, that inability to go to sleep or eat, the hiding from your parents, the first touching of your hands, the first kiss, you get the picture. I know a lot of you listening will relate. There are few experiences as universal as your first love. But what happens when your first love disappears and suddenly, the world turns to look at you,

One cardiovascular aberration after another. Stroke after stroke. Heart attacks galore in the Thomas household. 1 anomaly is understandable. But 4, that’s a bit much. Especially when the patients are in their 40s and 50s. And then appears out of thin air, a will, that allegedly of Tom Thomas. Almost as if it was conjured by someone who would benefit from it. Rojo Thomas believed that that ‘someone’ was none other than the newly appointed matriarch of the Thomas household – Jolly Amma Joseph. But why

What’s in a name? Astrologers would argue 2 syllables might entail your entire destiny, such is the power of a name. But what if your life is the exact opposite of what your name suggests. Our protagonist today bears such a name. Her name is Jolly. Jolly Joseph. One of her neighbors went on record to say “Jolly seemed like the perfect woman to us.” If you didn’t know any more about this, you’d assume that praising a person in a true crime podcast implies that they are the victim, or soon to be

Did you know woman is raped every 16 minutes in India? That adds up to 90 rapes a day, 630 rapes in a week and 2,700 rapes in a month. These are the official government figures from the year 2019. But most of these rapes never make it to the front page of your newspapers or the screens of your TV; they get lost among thousand other news pieces. But occasionally comes across a case that shocks a country to its core; a case that brings millions to the street in a fight for justice. In 2012, we all

Every film industry seems to have a dark underbelly. It seems to have countless unexplained murders, mysterious disappearances and ties to high profile criminal activity. Bollywood is the same way. From Sri Devi to Jia Khan, from Pratyusha Banerjee to Raj Kiran, crime seems to seep through our industry, leaving behind death and devastation. This is the story of one such crime that shook Bollywood, the story of a family, massacred. This is the story of Laila

Latifa was onboard a 100 ft yacht Nostromo. The ship had set sail from Muscat in Oman on February 24, 2018. The objective was to transport princess Latifa and her friend Tina to the shores of Goa, a coastal town in India. But although the seafaring voyage was meant to last a few weeks, Latifa’s journey had started long before; in fact decades before. This was merely the final leg of a lifelong plot to escape her fathers fangs. What was this ‘very very bad’ situation that Latifa had found herself in,

This is the story of Dubai’s missing royal; this is the story of Princess Latifa. The best way to break a spell of awkward silence with your friends, is to ask this simple question: what would you give up for a billion dollars? That’s billion with a ‘b’. And this question takes many forms: would you give up your arms, or your legs, or vision or your relationship, and the toughest of them all, would you give up your dog for a billion dollars? This is a simple rhetorical tool to instill thoughtful

But sometimes crimes are not so cut-and-dry. Some cases can flip our perceptions of what is wrong and what is right; what is good and what is evil. The story of Chamari Liyanage dabbles in that gray-area. It\'s a story of a woman; abused, tormented, and emotionally tortured until one day … she snaps. But the strange
