Same episode in English- https://open.spotify.com/episode/009IUA0qWOn1Rqy1njjx43?si=pjd2gj3RQBCjAuWBkEkH0Q Is Hindi episode mein hum Major Avtar Singh ke case ko samajhte hain — ek aise former Indian Army officer ki kahani, jiska naam Kashmir ke human rights lawyer Jalil Andrabi ke alleged kidnapping aur murder case se juda tha. Avtar Singh par gambhir aarop lage, uske khilaaf international level par notice bhi jaari hua, lekin saalon tak accountability ek adhoori kahani bani rahi. Phir yeh case India aur Kashmir se nikal kar California tak pahunchta hai, jahan Avtar Singh ne apni wife, bachchon, aur khud ko maar diya. Yeh kahani sirf ek violent crime ki kahani nahi hai. Yeh power, military impunity, human rights, exile, legal delay, aur domestic violence ke beech ke uncomfortable connection ko saamne laati hai. Kollectively Vigilant ke is episode mein hum is case ko law, psychology aur criminology ke nazariye se dekhenge: ek aadmi jiske upar pehle se serious allegations the, woh international system se kaise nikal gaya, aur aakhir mein ek poore parivaar ki zindagi kaise khatam ho gayi.

Episode 10:Season 2- The Roommate With Red Flags: The USF Double Murder of Zamil Limon & Nahida Bristy

Two Bangladeshi doctoral students at the University of South Florida, Zamil Ahmed Limon and Nahida Sultana Bristy, came to America to build a future through education. In April 2026, both stopped responding to calls, and what began as a missing-person investigation soon turned into a double murder case. Their deaths led police to Zamil’s roommate, Hisham Saleh Abugharbieh, whose alleged behaviour, prior red flags, digital searches, and apartment evidence are now central to the case. In this episode of Kollectively Vigilant, we examine who Zamil and Nahida were, what investigators say happened, the role of off-campus housing, the alleged warning signs, and the legal case now moving

Episode 9- Season 2-- He Called His Family His Blessing. Then He Killed His Twin Sister.

Caution: Don't use headphones for this episode. Sorry for the bad audio. In this episode, Dr. D and Sam examine the Hardik Singh and Harshita/Himshika Singh case from Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh. Hardik Singh, a 26-year-old man, allegedly killed his twin sister and attacked his mother after months of visible frustration over work, money, unemployment, online identity, and a failed emotional attachment. Rather than reducing the case to an online infatuation or a religious angle, this episode looks at the deeper layers: the pressure facing young Indians in corporate jobs, the collapse of work-life balance, the emotional burden of failure, the performance of victimhood online, and the psychological process through which grievance can become identity. The discussion uses psychological and criminological frameworks including cognitive dissonance, hostile attribution bias, external locus of control, strain theory, general strain theory, and grievance-fueled violence. This is a case about family, pressure, self-image, and the terrifying moment when the people who supported someone most became, in his mind, the people standing in his way.

Episode 8 -Season 2- Same Law, Different Justice in Australia: Race, Class, and Domestic Violence Self-Defence

In this episode, Dr. D appears on The Tumble Upward Podcast with Kyrren to discuss two Australian cases involving women who killed their abusive partners in the context of domestic violence and self-defence. Although both cases involved women, intimate partner violence, lethal force, and the same wider legal system, the outcomes were starkly different: one woman avoided incarceration, while the Aboriginal woman was imprisoned. This conversation examines how race, class, wealth, and institutional bias can shape whose fear is believed, whose survival is criminalised, and who receives mercy from the justice system.

Hindi- Ep 5- Costco me Parivar par Goliyaan – Accident ya Police Failure?

Yeh episode ek shocking police shooting case ko detail me examine karta hai — 2019 ka Costco shooting incident, jahan ek off-duty police officer ne sirf kuch seconds me ek parivaar ki zindagi hamesha ke liye badal di. Riverside, California me rehne wala French parivaar ek normal aur peaceful life jee raha tha — lekin 14 June 2019 ko sab kuch badal gaya. Kenneth French, jo schizophrenia aur intellectual disability se joojh raha tha, ek Costco store me ek brief encounter ke baad police officer Salvador Sanchez ke haathon goli ka shikaar bana. Sirf 3.8 seconds me teen logon ko goli lagi — aur iske baad jo hua, usne police accountability aur justice system par serious sawaal khade kiye.Yeh case sirf ek shooting nahi hai — yeh systemic failure, police accountability aur legal loopholes ka ek stark example hai. Episode ke end me hum comparative cases (jaise Jaanvi Kandula case aur Alabama me Indian father incident) ke through ek broader pattern ko analyze karte hain — kya yeh isolated incidents hain ya ek systemic issue? Aakhir me sawal yeh hai: jab law enforcement khud scrutiny ke daayre me ho, toh justice kaise ensure hota hai?
