The air was thick with the smell of smoke and charred flesh. The face of the body was unrecognizable – blackened and battered beyond identity. As a mother gently placed her palm against the body's hand, her intuition cut through the horror. The hand’s shape and size – not much larger than her own – told her what she dreaded most: this was her son, Nitish. Two nights earlier, he had vanished from a wedding. Now, in the soft dawn light, Neelam realized her life had been irreversibly halved into before and after. The boy she had raised and loved was gone, in the most brutal way imaginable. This is the story of that February morning, that boy, and that one mother’s fight for justice. This is the story of Nitish Katara.For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios Join our YouTube family: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/joinFor fastest updates, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/Aryaan https://www.instagram.com/aryaanmisra/Aishwarya https://www.instagram.com/aishwaryasinghs/To buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studios

For most, it’s a fleeting escape. But for one young woman, it became the last place she was ever seen. On a quiet stretch of sand in Punta Cana, as dawn crept over the horizon, a 20-year-old student from the University of Pittsburgh vanished without a trace. Clothes left behind, stories that don’t quite align, and a search that has raised more questions than answers. This is the story of that island, that spring break, and that student. This is the story of Sudiksha Konanki.

But on one such night in January 1996, that stillness was broken by something unspeakable. Inside a quiet home in Vasant Kunj, a nightmare unfolded—one that everyone around had feared, one that the victim herself had warned of, and one that, chillingly, would go on to change the country. This is the story of that quiet winter evening in Delhi, that Vasant Kunj home, and the one woman who found herself stuck behind its walls in the presence of pure evil. This is the story of Priyadarshini Mattoo.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/joinFor fastest updates, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/Aryaan https://www.instagram.com/aryaanmisra/Aishwarya https://www.instagram.com/aishwaryasinghs/To buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studios

But on a cold January night in 2014, one such corridor led to a room that would become the center of a mystery still whispered about years later. Inside lay the body of Sunanda Pushkar—socialite, businesswoman, wife of one of India’s most high-profile politicians. Her death was sudden, shocking, and wrapped in layers of intrigue. Was it illness, despair, betrayal—or something far darker? This is the story of Sunanda Pushkar.

On one such night in August 2024, a brief, trembling phone call shattered that quiet. The building manager of a modest apartment complex near Texas Southern University picked up to hear a stranger’s voice: there was a dead body in his apartment. Moments later, he was standing in the doorway of a crime scene that would haunt an entire community. This is a case that would send shockwaves through Houston’s Nepali community, ignite an urgent manhunt, and unravel a story that touched on immigration, vulnerability, and predation. And at its heart was the life of a young woman who had crossed oceans to build a future—only to have it violently stolen. This is the story of that Texas evening, that phone call, that one girl. This is the story of Muna Pandey.
