The Newington College was a college setup to civilize the India man, make him into a slave of the Western etiquette, stamp out his cultural sensibilities. A college setup for India’s princely youth. But something happened on the night of October 15, 1919 that stamped out the college itself from the annals of Indian history. This is the story of that mysterious gun shot. This is the story of Clement De La Haye.

In the stillness of an English night, a fire flickered to life—small at first, then all-consuming. By the time the flames died down, a man lay unrecognizable, his body burned beyond recognition. One woman stood in the corner, watching this man burn, watching as the past ten years of her life turned to ash, not screaming, not calling for help. As the world would learn of this story, many would come to applaud the fire that was lit that 1989 evening because its flame would give warmth to women across the world. This is the story of that fire, of that man who burned, and of the woman who stood and watched. This is the story of Kiranjit and Deepak Ahluwalia.

In August of 1967 when summer rolled to an end and students from all over the world flocked to the United States to begin their college education in the country of their dreams, one 23 year old young man was also boarding a flight from Bengal in India to the city of Berkeley in California. Nobody knew that this one man walking the airport with them or sharing the same flight with them was going to go on to change not only the country he was entering but the world. This is the story of that one man and the woman he simply couldn’t let go of. This is the story of Prosenjit Poddar and Tatiana Tarasoff.

The story I have for you today is one that took Sri Lanka by storm. Not just when it happened in 2005, but again in 2019, almost 15 years after the crime. This is the story of a 19-year-old Swedish Sri Lankan, a young girl much like any of us, and someone she had warned her family about for months now. This is the story of power, influence and justice. This is the story of Yvonne Jonnson.

You know that feeling of being young and experiencing your first love? Heightened emotions, the constant need to see them yet feeling your heart flutter when you do, that inability to go to sleep or eat, the hiding from your parents, the first touching of your hands, the first kiss, you get the picture. I know a lot of you listening will relate. There are few experiences as universal as your first love. But what happens when your first love disappears right before your eyes and suddenly, the world turns to look at you, wondering whether or not you could have possibly made them vanish? What happens when, then, your first love re-appears…but not alive anymore and suddenly, the world turns to look at you, wondering if you could be a cold blooded murderer? This is the story of one such young love story that captured the imagination of a nation. This is the story of Hae Min Lee and Adnan Syed.

On a quiet summer afternoon in May 2003, something happened in a small apartment in Paper Mill Colony, Lucknow—something so explosive, so tangled in power and passion, that it shook the very core of Uttar Pradesh’s political landscape. It began with a woman. A poet. A name whispered in hushed conversations, laced with scandal, fear, and obsession — Madhumita Shukla. She wasn’t just another aspiring poet; she had ventured deep into a world where power and ambition clashed. This is a story of deception, political intrigue and betrayals. What really happened in that apartment? Who had something to gain? And more importantly—who had something to hide?

What really happened to Pakeeza and Jojo—and who was hiding the answers all along?

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?
