What about the Delhi Dons and Karachi killers and Bangladeshi Burglars?! If you are tired of the the same-old American murderer, British killer, Australian kidnapper, Canadian stalker… NO MORE! The Desi Crime Podcast brings DESI crimes. From India, Pakistan, Nepal and other brown communities, we’ll bring you cases that can only be described as Desi. Crimes that take place in the Indian subcontinent aren’t remotely similar to Western crimes— desi crimes are gory, complicated, corrupt and hardly documented.

    In the quiet woods of New Hampshire, there’s a place locals avoid once the sun goes down. A stretch of forest that feels… wrong. For years, whispers have floated through the town — about what was found there, about who might have done it, about how something so horrific could stay hidden in plain sight. It’s a story that begins not with a person, but with a mystery buried deep in the trees. And what lies within it would change American criminal investigation forever. This is the story of that lonely forest, that secret buried within it, and the one man behind it. This is the story of the Bear Brook Murders.

    In the summer of 1994, a quiet suburban street in Bellevue, Washington, became the site of something so brutal, neighbors would remember the sound of sirens long after the blood had dried. Inside a well-kept family home, three lives were taken in a single night — a crime so savage it seemed personal, yet so calculated it felt rehearsed. And when the dust settled, suspicion didn’t fall on strangers lurking in the dark, but on the people who had called that house home. This is the story of that once calm Washington home and the lives taken inside it. This is the story of the Rafay murders.

    November 11, 2024. Kasaragod District Court, Kerala. Rain drizzles outside as an elderly couple stands in a quiet corner of the courthouse veranda. In the husband’s hands is a small cardboard box. It’s so small – barely the size of a shoebox. The wife’s fingers tremble on the lid, and when she lifts it, both begin to sob quietly. Inside that box is something no parent ever imagines they’ll have to carry… the skull of their child. Eighteen years ago, their daughter left home to work in a distant city. They never saw her again – until this moment, in the form of a few bone fragments. As the mother, Ayesha, cradles a piece of the skull in her palms, she whispers a prayer through tears. Around them, a cluster of people – activists, lawyers, well-wishers – watch in somber silence. Some are crying too. They all know they are witnessing the final chapter of a horrific story. Ayesha closes her eyes and says, “Let no mother on earth have to see this day.” Today, the remains of Safiya are going home. This, is her story.
