We’ve all heard crazy cases of disappearances. Oftentimes, young women disappear, like Sneha Phillip or young children disappear like Geeta and Sanjay Chopra at the hands of Ranga and Billa. Unfortunately, disappearances aren’t uncommon. What is uncommon is for an entire family to vanish into thin air, leaving behind no trace at all. What happens when 3 generations of a family all disappear as if they never existed? What happens is that Scotland Yard spirals into one of the most complex manhunts in UK history, traveling to 4 countries and collecting 4000 documents to solve a case that drove the world insane. This is the story of that manhunt, this is the story of the disappearance of the Chohan family.

Usually thunder awakens the residents of Bandra at night, a popular suburb of Bombay. Something louder awoke its residents on the night of 12th October. A roar. A deafening roar, of a lion heaving his last breath. Just a few blocks away from me, the king of bandra’s political scene was being rushed to the Lilavati hospital, a final ditch attempt to save the 66 year old political veteran. Many called him Baba. Thousands gathered outside Lilavati, praying for Baba to make it through. I stood outside the hospital not knowing what was happening, not knowing what Baba meant to these people, not knowing what the eerie tension presaged. This is the story of the Baba of Bandra, this is the story of Bollywood, Bishnoi and Baba Siddique. 

THIS IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION

If you’re the heartbreaker’s side of the table, you probably consider yourself the luckier one of the two parties but that’s not always the truth. You never truly know what the heartbroken is capable of doing when pushed to the edge. This is a story that exemplifies that dynamic– one where the heartbreaker seemed too quick to move on and the heartbroken, hell bent on making sure he doesn’t. This is a story that shook London in the late 2000s. This is the story of Lucky Cheema and Lakhvir Singh.

Every film industry seems to have a dark underbelly. It seems to have countless unexplained murders, mysterious disappearances and ties to high profile criminal activity. Bollywood is the same way. From Sri Devi to Jia Khan, from Pratyusha Banerjee to Raj Kiran, crime seems to seep through our industry, leaving behind death and devastation. This is the story of one such crime that shook Bollywood, the story of a family, massacred. This is the story of Laila Khan.

A lot of days are cookie cutter- the same grind for the same goal. That is what February 9th was like for the employees of the Passaic Valley Water Commission treatment facility and their senior engineer— a 43 year old talented Indian American woman. Little did anyone know though, that day would go down in the company’s history as one when everything changed for the worse. Little did anyone know, that was going to be a day of tragedy and death, with a murderer lurking in the shadows under plain sight. This is the story of that day, that office, and that woman. This is the story of Geetha Angara.
