In Desi Crime Stories, we delve deep into the intriguing and often bewildering world of Indian crimes. Each episode of this podcast takes you on a journey into the dark side of Indian society, exploring the circumstances and the hows behind each crime.
Some murder cases remain unsolved for years. Others remain buried for more than a decade. This Delhi case began around 2010, when a woman's death was initially treated as suicide. Years later, investigators began questioning the original version of events and alleged that the death had actually been murder. The accused disappeared and reportedly lived under a changed identity for years. Then, after approximately 15 years, Delhi Police tracked him down and arrested him. In this episode, we explore how an old case was reopened, how investigators followed the trail and how a crime from 2010 resurfaced more than a decade later.

The Witness Who Became the Victim Murder of Rachna Yadav
