197. The Lohagad Murder | Ketan Agarwal & Siya Goyal

A boy from a big Pune business family, a girl about to marry into it, and a wedding being built on a scale that barely sounded real. Then Ketan Agarwal went over the edge of Lohagad Fort near Lonavala, and for 5 days it stayed exactly what it looked like: a tragic trekking accident. But his fiancée Siya Goyal, a man in a hoodie named Chetan Chaudhary, 2004 phone calls, and a string of earlier attempts nobody saw coming turned this into one of the most disturbing cases India has followed in 2026. We break down every credible thread the police have pulled so far in the Ketan Agarwal murder case, and trust us, this one is stranger than fiction.

196. The Santa Serial Killer | Bruce McArthur

For years, men were disappearing from Toronto’s Gay Village. Some were immigrants. Some were refugees. Some were South Asian or Middle Eastern men living complicated, private lives in a city that was supposed to offer them freedom. They moved through bars, dating apps, friendships, and chosen families — until, one by one, they seemed to vanish. At first, there were rumours. Then there was fear. People in the community warned each other that something was wrong, that someone was targeting men who were already easy for the world to overlook. But the warnings were dismissed for far too long. This is the story of how a city’s most vulnerable men went missing in plain sight, and how the truth, when it finally came out, exposed a killer more ordinary than the men who walk beside you every day. This is the story of Bruce McArthur.  For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios   Join our YouTube family: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/join   For fastest updates, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/Aryaan https://www.instagram.com/aryaanmisra/Aishwarya https://www.instagram.com/aishwaryasinghs/   Order our book, Desi Crime, available now on Amazon:https://amzn.in/d/0WyttKW   To buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studios

194. The Ripper of Kerala | K P Jayanandan

Watch Brown on Zee5 TODAY!https://www.zee5.com/web-series/details/brown/0-6-4z5968730 For a village in the suburbs of Ernakulam, the morning of October 3rd, 2006 arrived with a smell of kerosene and a scene so brutal that the whole country would soon be talking about it. In the weeks that followed, a name would surface. A name that became folklore, the kind of name parents used to frighten children, the kind the newspapers printed in the heightened language usually saved for natural disasters. They called him the Ripper. The trouble is, twenty years from the crime, nobody can tell you for certain whether he actually did it. This is a story about a monster or it’s the story about how a country builds one when it needs one. This is the story of the Ripper of Kerala.
