Just 200 meters from his apartment gate, his car plunged into an unmarked, 50-foot-deep pit filled with toxic rainwater and sewage—a death trap left wide open for three years by greedy developers and completely ignored by local authorities.For 90 agonizing minutes, Yuvraj did everything right.

Send us Fan MailBeneath the surface of the peaceful city of Guwahati, a dark and twisted plot was unfolding. Bandana Kalita, a well-known fitness coach, appeared to be the picture of discipline and success. But behind her professional facade lay a ruthless architect of murder.In 2022, Bandana reported her husband, Amarjyoti Dey, and mother-in-law, Shankari Dey, missing. For months, she played the role of a grieving daughter-in-law and wife, all while collecting rent from the family's property and moving forward with her own life.It wasn't until her mother-in-law's nephew, Nirmalya Dey, began his own investigation that the cracks started to appear.

Send us Fan MailIn the world of South Asian true crime, few stories rival the 1944 murder of C.N. Lakshmikanthan—a case that didn’t just shock the public, but brought the glittering world of the Madras film industry to its knees. This episode is a deep dive into the scandal that ruined superstars, exposed a blackmail empire, and changed Indian cinema history forever.What happens when the most powerful stars of the silver screen are accused of a cold-blooded killing? In November 1944, a notorious gossip columnist named C.N. Lakshmikanthan was stabbed in broad daylight while riding a hand-drawn rickshaw through the streets of Vepery, Madras. By the next morning, he was dead.Lakshmikanthan wasn't just any journalist; he was the editor of Cinema Thoothu and Hindu Nesan, "yellow journals" dedicated to exposing the scandalous private lives of the elite. His "poison pen" had made him many enemies, but the investigation took a turn no one expected: the arrest of M.K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar (MKT)—the first true superstar of Tamil cinema—and the legendary comedian N.S. Krishnan (NSK).In this episode, we explore: * The Blackmail Empire: How Lakshmikanthan used his magazines to extort money from actors and politicians. * The Day of the Attack: A minute-by-minute reconstruction of the stabbing on General Collins Road. * A Trial Like No Other: The dramatic legal battle involving top barristers and a conviction that sent shockwaves across British India. * The Aftermath: How 30 months in jail destroyed the career of a man whose films once ran for three consecutive years. * Unsolved Mysteries: Why, despite the acquittals by the Privy Council in 1947, many still believe the true mastermind behind the murder never faced justice.Why You Should Listen : If you’re a fan of true crime from South Asia, this case is the "O.J. Simpson trial" of the 1940s. It features everything: a victim with a criminal past, a high-stakes conspiracy, and a tragic downfall of cinematic legends. We dig through the 200-page trial transcripts to separate myth from reality.Keywords: South Asian True Crime, Indian History, Lakshmikanthan Case, M.K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar, N.S.
