Desi Killers, Desi Kidnappers, Desi Criminals - find them here. Brought to you by Aryaan Misra and Aishwarya Singh, powered by The Desi Studios. We are your one stop shop for all things Desi, and all things Crazy. Support the work we do by becoming a patron: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios Tooooooooo much of true crime is centered around America - New York murder this and Chicago Killer that. 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. After thorough research on the most sinister cases, we’ll take you on a bumpy, jaw dropping ride around South Asia. Stay Crazy. Stay Desi.

    141. The Brutal Narra Killings | Live at Apple

    In February, we hosted our very first live event at Apple BKC, Mumbai. But if you couldn’t attend, don’t fret. Here is the recording of the live Desi Crime episode. A quiet home in New Jersey became the site of an unspeakable horror—two innocent lives lost in a single, chilling night. An IT professional's wife, and their young son, found slain in what seemed like a brutal act of vengeance. No forced entry, no clear suspect, just eerie silence and unanswered questions. What really happened behind the closed doors of the Narra family’s home?

    Chaloge Bhaiya? | OFFICIAL TRAILER

    Watch the full show on YouTube: https://yt.openinapp.co/ChalogeBhaiyaEp1 Autos crawl across Bombay like ants, obedient as our blood in their blind circuit of hacked roads. 4.5 lakh ricks are there to attend to your flailing hand in this city. 450,000 autos have 450,000 stories. The romanticization of the auto often obscures the stories of the autowallahs. Chaloge Bhaiya is a show where you hear conversations that no podcast features, food no blogger writes about, stories no one tells. We get into an auto. We hit record. We let the driver take us wherever they want. Every episode, the driver takes us to their favorite food spot in the city—the places they swear by, the ones you won’t find on a bougie food critic’s ‘10 Things To Eat In Bombay’ listicle. From 2am dal baati to a local bar crawl, we feature street food that’ll have you running to your nearest auto. You just gotta wait until March 13, when the show premiers on The Desi Studios YouTube channel.Episode 1: 13.03.25Episode 2: 20.03.25Episode 3: 27.03.25Episode 4: 3.04.25Episode 5: 10.04.25Episode 6: 17.04.25Host and director: Aryaan MisraProducer: Desi StudiosCinematography and Editing: Evan ThomasGraphic Design: Manasi Pandya#ChalogeBhaiya #Bombay #Autorickshaw

    The Search For Nadia Malik [VIDEO]

    A murder involves a murderer, the murdered, a murder weapon and more often than not, a motive. This template is true for most cases covered on our podcast. But where there is a rule, there is an exception. The case we have for you today is such an exception. This case has a murder, but no murder weapon, no motive, and no murderer. This is the story of a 22 year old girl that shook the city of Philadelphia, this is the story of Nadia Malik.

For the victim in today’s story, that is exactly what happened. As this 7 year old went about his day, evil watched and in an instant, life for a family changed forever. This is the story of that 7 year old and a hunt that has lasted 20 years. This is the story of Rahul Raju.

    139. The Vanishing of Shafelia Ahmed

    If there is any one thing common to all humans, regardless of race or age or ethnicity or the time period in which we lived, it is our longing for freedom. Freedom from coercion, freedom from oppression, freedom to choose, freedom to live. But sometimes, this freedom comes at a cost, a cost we don’t even know we need to pay until it's far too late. Freedom is all one 17 year old Pakistani British girl longed for and freedom is what she never got. This is the story of that one 17 year old. This is the story of Shafelia Ahmed.   For fastest updates, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/Aryaan https://www.instagram.com/aryaanmisra/Aishwarya https://www.instagram.com/aishwaryasinghs/For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios or join our YouTube family https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/joinTo buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studios
