    111. The Cult of Osho: A Saint or a Sinner? (Pt.2)

    In part 1 of the story of Rajneeshpuram, you heard the story of Bhagwan Rajneesh’s life and his move to the US to a sleepy little town outside of Oregon. You heard the story of his unprecedented town takeover and the all out culture war he now found himself in the middle of. By the year 1983, the residents of Rajneeshpuram and Antelope were armed against each other and more dangerous than ever before. As this culture war would unfold, crimes would unfold too, making the plot more sinister and macabre. And to hear this story unfold, welcome back to part 2 of the story of Osho.

    110. The Cult of Osho: A Saint or a Sinner? (Pt.1)

    110. The Cult of Osho: A Saint or a Sinner? (Pt.1)

    Imagine you’re living in a small middle town in the state of Oregon in 1981. Living in a ranching town with just about 50 people, you were most probably white. Life was quiet and life was simple but life was good for you there. Until one day, something seemed different. Cars and people, including Rolls Royces show up at your small sleepy town. And the people seem different— dressed in reddish orange robes, they chant music, hold ceremonial events, even have the roads around them closed off, and from there things only get weirder and scarier and more illegal. This is the story of one such sleepy American town and the one man who changed it all. This is the story of Osho.

    [RECAST] On May 18th, an email was sent out to the faculty of Shiv Nadar University at 1:20 pm, which had a link to a confession video. This email was sent to 11 people on the campus. The recipients included a student and some authorities. It was sent by a second year sociology student named Anuj Kumar. The email was titled, ‘S#c#de Note.’ This case shocked students across Indian Universities. Is it that easy to bring a gun inside a college campus? Why did Anuj Send that video? Why was Sneha killed? Find out on this week’s episode of Desi Crime.

    109. He Killed His Family, Partied in Prison, & Escaped: Sajal Barui Case

    109. He Killed His Family, Partied in Prison, & Escaped: Sajal Barui Case

    On the midnight of 23rd November 1993, a family’s massacre jolted Shubham Apartments in the Dum Dum region of Kolkata. When the cops arrived the scene of crime, they realized there was one survivor, 16 year old Sajal Barui. Soon, that notion changed. According to India’s Juvenile Justice Act, a person under the age of 18 is viewed as a minor, and is tried as such when they commit a crime. But there are a few rare cases that blur the moral distinction between a child and an adult, a minor versus a mature person, a kid as opposed to a killer. On the midnight of 23rd November 1993, those lines were blurred forever.
