Episode 17: Kerala Occult Murders

In 2022, two women vanished months apart from different towns in South India. One sold lottery tickets on the streets of Kochi. The other went door to door, trying to make a living. Both disappeared without a trace.

 

For weeks, their families searched — hoping for answers, fearing the worst. When police finally traced their last phone signals, all roads led to a quiet village in Kerala’s Pathanamthitta district. What they uncovered there would shock an entire nation.

 

Behind the walls of an ordinary-looking home in Elanthoor lay one of the most disturbing and tragic stories India has ever seen — a story of manipulation, misplaced faith, and two innocent lives caught in its shadow.

 

Who were these women?

What led three ordinary people down such a dark path?

And how did a web of lies turn belief into brutality?

 

Join us as we uncover the haunting story behind The Elanthoor Murders: The Occult Crimes That Shook Kerala.

Episode 16: The Burari Case

In July 2018, eleven members of the same family were found dead inside their home in Burari, North Delhi. What at first looked like a mass suicide soon turned into one of India’s most haunting and baffling mysteries.No signs of struggle. No forced entry. Ten of them hanging in a circle — and one lying still in another room.

The Chundawat family was known to be kind, generous, and deeply spiritual. But behind their quiet life, diaries spanning over a decade revealed something chilling — a pattern of ritualistic obedience, guided by what they believed was the voice of their deceased patriarch.

Was this a suicide pact, a case of shared delusion, or something far more sinister?Join us as we uncover the strange, heartbreaking truth behind The Burari Case.

Episode 14: Chandrika Murder Case

In June 2024, the quiet village of Dantiya in Gujarat woke up to a tragedy that would soon make national headlines.

Eighteen-year-old Chandrika Chaudhary, a bright NEET aspirant with dreams of becoming a nurse, was found hanging in her family courtyard—just days after scoring high marks in her exam.

 

At first, it looked like a suicide. But as the investigation unfolded, disturbing details began to surface—about family control, social honour, and a young woman’s fight for independence.

 

This isn’t just the story of a crime. It’s the story of a girl who dared to dream beyond the limits set for her, and the system that failed to protect her.

In this episode of Vicious Tales, we explore the haunting story of a Punjabi family who left their homeland in search of the American dream. From their journey across states to their life in Ohio, theirs was a story of love, culture, and resilience. But one quiet April evening in 2019, their home in West Chester became the scene of one of the most shocking tragedies the community had ever witnessed.


Through immigration journeys, family dynamics, and the unraveling of an investigation that gripped Ohio, we piece together how a life that seemed ordinary from the outside could hide unimaginable darkness within.


Join us as we trace this story from Punjab to Cincinnati, uncovering how faith, family, and betrayal collided in ways no one could have predicted.

Sibling Rivalry to Murder: When Family Bonds Turn Fatal

 

A 12-year-old boy disappears without a trace. Was it human trafficking, sorcery, or something even closer to home? For weeks, police chased every possible lead — from CCTV footage to ritualistic suspicions. But the truth, when it finally surfaced, shocked everyone.

 

In today’s episode, we unravel a heartbreaking case from Odisha that exposes hidden dangers inside ordinary homes, and a second chilling case from Faridabad that raises unsettling questions about sibling rivalry, jealousy, and the silent weight children carry.

 

Two families. Two tragedies. And one haunting theme: how far can rivalry between siblings really go?

Episode 8: The Manisha Singh Case

🎙️ The Manisha Singh Case | Justice Must Be Served

 

19-year-old Manisha Singh from Haryana dreamed of becoming a nurse. On August 11, 2025, she disappeared after leaving work. Just two days later, her mutilated body was discovered near the Singhani canal.

 

Authorities called it suicide. Villagers called it murder. What followed were mass protests demanding answers, accountability, and justice. The case has since been handed over to the CBI but Manisha’s family is still waiting for the truth.

This is more than just one story. It represents every woman silenced by violence, every family denied justice, and every voice that refuses to be ignored. Justice for Manisha cannot wait.

When Dreams Threaten Tradition

Episode 3: When Dreams Threaten Tradition


Radhika Yadav was a former tennis prodigy—disciplined, driven, and known for pushing limits both on and off the court. At just 25, she was shifting gears—coaching young players, growing her online presence, and speaking her mind more freely than ever.


Then, one morning in July, her life came to a sudden, brutal end.


Four gunshots.

A quiet kitchen.

And a phone that held more secrets than answers.


What happened to Radhika inside her own home?

Why were chats deleted just hours before?

And what role did rising visibility, independence, and generational pressure play?


In this episode, we unravel a haunting case that gripped the nation—but still feels shrouded in silence.


🎧 Listen as we trace her final days, examine the digital footprints she left behind, and speak to those closest to her… in search of what really happened.

Meme Murder

Episode 2: Meme Murder

 He spoke on a satsang stage, sharing his simple dream: a partner, a home, and a future built on land he had worked for. That moment of vulnerability made Indrakumar Tiwari—a teacher and farmer from Jabalpur—an unexpected internet sensation.

 Then he vanished.

 What followed was a tragic turn through fake identities, a rushed wedding, and a body found far from home. What really happened between his viral video and his final moments?

This episode dives into the life, hopes, and final journey of a man who simply wanted love—and how those hopes were manipulated for something far more sinister.
