CRIME

2
00:00:08,208 --> 00:00:09,916
<i>In this episode of </i>Jurm,

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
<i>the pages of a man-eater's diary</i>

4
00:00:12,083 --> 00:00:14,583
<i>will reveal a tale of brutality.</i>

5
00:00:15,750 --> 00:00:19,375
As we flipped
through the pages of his diary

6
00:00:19,458 --> 00:00:22,291
on every page,
a harrowing murder was revealed.

7
00:00:22,375 --> 00:00:24,000
{\an8}The name of this cannibal is

8
00:00:24,083 --> 00:00:25,041
{\an8}Raja Kolander.

9
00:00:25,125 --> 00:00:28,000
{\an8}<i>Raja Kolander's crimes exposed at last.</i>

10
00:00:28,083 --> 00:00:30,458
{\an8}FINALLY CAUGHT AFTER 14 MURDERS

11
00:00:30,541 --> 00:00:31,916
Do you know who Raja Kolander is?

12
00:00:33,791 --> 00:00:35,333
He murdered my father.

13
00:00:36,833 --> 00:00:38,625
Since, a journalist was murdered

14
00:00:38,708 --> 00:00:42,125
and because of the brutality of the crime,

15
00:00:42,208 --> 00:00:44,416
the entire reporter fraternity
was rattled.

16
00:00:44,500 --> 00:00:46,541
DEATH OF FELLOW REPORTER DHEERENDRA
HAS LEFT US BAFFLED AND ANGRY

17
00:00:46,625 --> 00:00:48,500
DHEERENDRA'S MURDER COMPELS TO THINK

18
00:00:48,583 --> 00:00:50,250
Kolander thought that
he was falsely implicated

19
00:00:50,333 --> 00:00:52,166
because of the reporters.

20
00:00:54,416 --> 00:00:57,250
Some reporters asked him why he did that.

21
00:00:57,333 --> 00:00:59,625
He said that he would
let them know once he is back.

22
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:05,291
He claimed that
he was a victim of a media trial.

23
00:01:05,375 --> 00:01:07,166
TERRIFYING TALE OF A SAVAGE

24
00:01:07,250 --> 00:01:09,291
RAJA - THE BUTCHER OF CORPSES

25
00:01:09,375 --> 00:01:11,500
He was in complete denial.

26
00:01:14,958 --> 00:01:18,208
Why don't you talk about
the people who are still alive?

27
00:01:18,291 --> 00:01:20,291
Weren't you the one who revealed it?

28
00:01:20,375 --> 00:01:21,250
PSYCHO KILLER PROCLAIMED HIMSELF KING
WAS EXCITED BY THE SIGHT OF CORPSES

29
00:01:21,333 --> 00:01:22,208
MOST SAVAGE CRIMINAL IN THE WORLD,
RAJA KOLANDER

30
00:01:22,291 --> 00:01:23,250
RAJA KOLANDER'S DEEDS ARE
MORE TERRIFYING THAN "JACK THE RIPPER"

31
00:01:23,333 --> 00:01:24,375
RAJA KOLANDER,
DEADLIEST KILLER IN THE WHOLE WORLD

32
00:01:24,458 --> 00:01:27,791
Reporters were making up sensations
and the police supported them.

33
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:29,958
ALL OF KOLANDER'S CRIMES DOESN'T FIND
A MENTION IN THE CHARGESHEET

34
00:01:30,041 --> 00:01:31,208
RAJA WAS ADDICTED TO DRINKING BLOOD

35
00:01:31,291 --> 00:01:32,416
HIS MODUS OPERANDI WAS
ATTACKING FROM BEHIND

36
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,791
Unless he was punished

37
00:01:34,875 --> 00:01:36,750
Dheerendra wouldn't get justice.

38
00:01:36,833 --> 00:01:39,416
A cold-blooded killer like him
has no right to live.

39
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:42,541
I will not get justice
until Raja Kolander is hanged.

40
00:01:42,625 --> 00:01:46,875
You can't send anyone to the gallows
just because the media says so.

41
00:01:46,958 --> 00:01:50,000
TRUTH SHALL PREVAIL

42
00:02:21,250 --> 00:02:23,333
DISTRICT PRISON, UNNAO

43
00:02:24,375 --> 00:02:27,500
I usually wake up by 3:30 a.m.

44
00:02:29,125 --> 00:02:32,958
Then I practice
deep breathing and meditation.

45
00:02:33,041 --> 00:02:34,916
I do breathing exercises.

46
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,791
The next 15 minutes are
for the prison headcount.

47
00:02:38,875 --> 00:02:40,625
Then I return and read <i>Ramayana</i>.

48
00:02:40,708 --> 00:02:43,625
All I read is <i>Ramayana</i> and <i>Bhagvad Gita</i>.

49
00:02:43,708 --> 00:02:45,250
DISTRICT PRISON, UNNAO

50
00:02:51,208 --> 00:02:55,333
I'm from the 1993 batch
of the state administrative services

51
00:02:55,416 --> 00:02:59,500
and I was appointed
as Jail Superintendent.

52
00:02:59,583 --> 00:03:02,958
When I was transferred to Lucknow Jail,

53
00:03:03,041 --> 00:03:04,791
it was a high-security prison.

54
00:03:04,875 --> 00:03:06,333
I was posted there.

55
00:03:06,416 --> 00:03:09,458
And even before my arrival

56
00:03:09,541 --> 00:03:11,625
Raja Kolander was imprisoned there

57
00:03:11,708 --> 00:03:13,333
in a high-security cell.

58
00:03:13,416 --> 00:03:15,083
DISTRICT PRISON, LUCKNOW

59
00:03:22,833 --> 00:03:24,791
My name is Shailesh Kumar Gupta.

60
00:03:24,875 --> 00:03:26,916
In 2008,

61
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,041
I was an under-trial prisoner

62
00:03:30,125 --> 00:03:31,916
in Naini Central Jail.

63
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,666
That's where I heard about Raja Kolander.

64
00:03:34,750 --> 00:03:36,791
NAINI CENTRAL PRISON, PRAYAGRAJ

65
00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:44,416
My fellow inmates would usually tell me,

66
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:48,458
pointing at Raja Kolander
that he was a cannibal.

67
00:03:49,250 --> 00:03:52,166
Looking at him,
I felt strange and terrified too.

68
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,666
But Raja Kolander was
always isolated from the rest.

69
00:04:00,708 --> 00:04:04,291
He was mostly seen offering prayers

70
00:04:04,375 --> 00:04:07,250
or reading books related to law.

71
00:04:07,333 --> 00:04:11,333
Because he was aware
of his rights and the legal process.

72
00:04:11,416 --> 00:04:13,541
He was aware that

73
00:04:13,625 --> 00:04:16,833
declaring a hunger strike
in jail rattles the authorities

74
00:04:16,916 --> 00:04:18,875
and matters get escalated quickly.

75
00:04:18,958 --> 00:04:22,750
So, he would often
exploit such weak points

76
00:04:22,833 --> 00:04:26,125
against the prison authorities.

77
00:04:30,708 --> 00:04:34,625
It never felt that Raja Kolander
was facing 14 counts of heinous crimes,

78
00:04:34,708 --> 00:04:38,250
like Section 302 was levied against him.

79
00:04:38,333 --> 00:04:40,833
It was never evident from his behavior.

80
00:04:40,916 --> 00:04:45,125
If anyone had any problems
with legal formalities,

81
00:04:45,208 --> 00:04:47,833
he would help them file applications.

82
00:04:48,416 --> 00:04:51,416
If anyone had to complain
to the jail administration,

83
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:54,833
since most inmates are illiterate,
he would try to help them.

84
00:04:56,916 --> 00:04:58,458
I was told that he is a "monster"

85
00:04:59,750 --> 00:05:01,416
but I never witnessed the "monster",

86
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,833
I only saw a man who wanted to help others

87
00:05:05,916 --> 00:05:07,958
even when he had no resources.

88
00:05:08,041 --> 00:05:11,333
DISTRICT PRISON, LUCKNOW

89
00:05:11,416 --> 00:05:14,166
Radicalization was
a huge issue in Lucknow jail.

90
00:05:14,250 --> 00:05:17,875
Most Pakistani prisoners
and those accused of terrorist activity

91
00:05:17,958 --> 00:05:20,708
were locked up in that high-security cell.

92
00:05:21,583 --> 00:05:23,875
We had input
about a case where a Hindu inmate

93
00:05:23,958 --> 00:05:27,083
was often seen hanging out

94
00:05:27,833 --> 00:05:32,458
with the Pakistani inmates, it could be
a potential case of radicalization.

95
00:05:32,541 --> 00:05:37,583
But in his case,
since Kolander was quite religious

96
00:05:37,666 --> 00:05:40,833
as well as firmly spiritual,

97
00:05:40,916 --> 00:05:45,916
we used his intelligence input
to deal with those prisoners.

98
00:05:46,541 --> 00:05:48,583
So, we sought his help.

99
00:05:48,666 --> 00:05:52,625
I told them everything.
How they were served special meals.

100
00:05:52,708 --> 00:05:55,958
And, how those terrorists were provided
with cigarettes inside the prison.

101
00:05:56,041 --> 00:05:59,666
This is India.
You can't transform India into Pakistan.

102
00:05:59,750 --> 00:06:02,041
One of them claimed that
ripples of his terror activities

103
00:06:02,125 --> 00:06:03,625
would be felt in Delhi. I told him,

104
00:06:03,708 --> 00:06:06,083
"Forget Delhi, even Lucknow
is beyond your reach!"

105
00:06:06,166 --> 00:06:09,500
We worship cows and they eat them.
How dare they do so!

106
00:06:09,583 --> 00:06:11,875
They were Pakistani terrorists,
not Indians.

107
00:06:11,958 --> 00:06:14,541
How could the Indian inmate
even think of helping them?

108
00:06:17,583 --> 00:06:20,375
At the end of it all,

109
00:06:20,958 --> 00:06:23,458
I felt he took benefit of the situation.

110
00:06:23,541 --> 00:06:27,250
The input he gave was pretty normal.

111
00:06:27,333 --> 00:06:30,916
In fact, I got
the same input from others too.

112
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
In a way he double-crossed us.

113
00:06:35,333 --> 00:06:40,916
They consider themselves smarter
than the law enforcement.

114
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,291
They often have a good,
vast storehouse of knowledge

115
00:06:44,375 --> 00:06:46,791
about police,
about the criminal justice system.

116
00:06:46,875 --> 00:06:50,000
They try to put you
into a category and manipulate you.

117
00:06:50,750 --> 00:06:54,750
Right? And they feel that
they can do it very fast, very quickly,

118
00:06:54,833 --> 00:06:56,208
and they're smarter than you.

119
00:06:56,791 --> 00:06:58,916
Now, these geniuses won't understand.

120
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,375
They are full of arrogance.

121
00:07:01,458 --> 00:07:03,250
By the way, you are also a genius!

122
00:07:03,333 --> 00:07:06,583
But if only a few understand,
it doesn't make a lot of difference.

123
00:07:06,666 --> 00:07:10,375
If I converse with you,
you will understand.

124
00:07:10,458 --> 00:07:12,916
I can talk to only 10 out of 100.

125
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,708
And once I talk to a person,
he will understand properly.

126
00:07:15,791 --> 00:07:19,500
The ones who don't
will only see me as a cannibal.

127
00:07:19,583 --> 00:07:22,000
There was a deputy here earlier.

128
00:07:22,083 --> 00:07:24,083
My first encounter with him wasn't smooth.

129
00:07:24,166 --> 00:07:25,958
He asked me why I drank blood.

130
00:07:26,041 --> 00:07:28,583
I asked him how he knew
and if he had ever seen me do it.

131
00:07:28,666 --> 00:07:29,833
He felt offended.

132
00:07:29,916 --> 00:07:31,708
When the parade was going on,

133
00:07:32,750 --> 00:07:35,333
I saw him using a mobile phone.

134
00:07:35,416 --> 00:07:38,750
I asked him who he was.

135
00:07:39,416 --> 00:07:40,625
He said he was an inmate too.

136
00:07:41,416 --> 00:07:45,666
I slapped him right there. How could
an inmate use a mobile phone in jail!

137
00:07:45,750 --> 00:07:47,000
He left.

138
00:07:47,083 --> 00:07:49,750
Too late! He was already insulted.

139
00:07:49,833 --> 00:07:52,083
Why did he have to
tell me that he was an inmate?

140
00:07:52,750 --> 00:07:54,791
He should have told me that
he was a deputy Jail Superintendent.

141
00:07:54,875 --> 00:07:56,291
He was in plain clothes.

142
00:07:56,375 --> 00:07:58,833
Why did he have to act smart?
He was never seen again.

143
00:07:58,916 --> 00:08:00,000
He took a transfer.

144
00:08:01,916 --> 00:08:05,416
From 2008 to around 2015,

145
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:08,875
he was continuously
in solitary confinement.

146
00:08:08,958 --> 00:08:10,541
In a separate cell.

147
00:08:10,625 --> 00:08:15,000
There were rumors that
Raja Kolander was held separately

148
00:08:15,083 --> 00:08:19,083
because if kept with regular inmates
he would eat them too.

149
00:08:19,166 --> 00:08:23,375
UTTAR PRADESH POLICE

150
00:08:25,708 --> 00:08:27,833
I was in Naini for 16 years.

151
00:08:28,416 --> 00:08:30,333
The superintendent's surname
was Srivastav,

152
00:08:30,416 --> 00:08:32,166
and I was accused of killing a Srivastav

153
00:08:32,250 --> 00:08:34,416
His plan was to keep me
with regular inmates.

154
00:08:34,500 --> 00:08:37,000
So that he could get me
beaten up if I refused to comply.

155
00:08:37,083 --> 00:08:39,125
I was like, "Try whatever you want to!"

156
00:08:39,208 --> 00:08:42,333
So, I was
with regular inmates for two years.

157
00:08:42,416 --> 00:08:46,333
But they hardly received any complaints.
Everyone was drawn to me.

158
00:08:46,416 --> 00:08:49,000
For example, one fellow was really poor.

159
00:08:49,083 --> 00:08:51,166
He had no one to fight his case.

160
00:08:51,250 --> 00:08:54,666
I helped him file
an appeal with the high court

161
00:08:54,750 --> 00:08:56,625
and got him a bail.

162
00:08:57,416 --> 00:09:02,083
I helped one or two like that
for free, and soon, the word spread.

163
00:09:02,166 --> 00:09:05,625
Then everyone started coming to me.
That would affect my meditation.

164
00:09:05,708 --> 00:09:09,083
There was a jail official named Shukla.

165
00:09:09,666 --> 00:09:14,333
I told him
how it was affecting my meditation.

166
00:09:14,416 --> 00:09:17,875
I asked him for a solitary cell.

167
00:09:17,958 --> 00:09:20,583
He asked me to write an application

168
00:09:20,666 --> 00:09:24,166
because I seemed pretty normal.

169
00:09:24,250 --> 00:09:26,708
Apparently, they only
keep dangerous criminals

170
00:09:26,791 --> 00:09:28,416
in solitary confinement.

171
00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:30,708
So, I wrote an application

172
00:09:30,791 --> 00:09:32,750
because they claimed
they needed it for documentation.

173
00:09:32,833 --> 00:09:35,166
Finally, he allotted me a separate room.

174
00:09:50,708 --> 00:09:55,416
The presence of other people
would be very disturbing for him.

175
00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:59,750
They would like a structured
and ordered environment

176
00:09:59,833 --> 00:10:03,291
in order to feel that
they're in control of themselves.

177
00:10:03,375 --> 00:10:06,208
So for example, a person like him,

178
00:10:06,291 --> 00:10:08,750
who is delusional and hallucinating,

179
00:10:08,833 --> 00:10:12,125
others around him would
point out what is happening.

180
00:10:12,208 --> 00:10:16,833
They would tell him that
there is something wrong with him.

181
00:10:16,916 --> 00:10:19,916
But he doesn't want to hear that
there is something wrong with him.

182
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,291
The more alone he stays,
the more he can be his own king.

183
00:10:26,458 --> 00:10:27,958
-Long live…
-Morality!

184
00:10:28,041 --> 00:10:29,500
-Down with…
-Immorality!

185
00:10:29,583 --> 00:10:31,125
-May the truth…
-Prevail!

186
00:10:31,208 --> 00:10:34,250
-May the truth…
-Prevail!

187
00:10:34,333 --> 00:10:36,375
During my time in prison,

188
00:10:36,958 --> 00:10:41,750
my goal was to convey the message of God

189
00:10:42,541 --> 00:10:45,208
to the biggest of criminals there.

190
00:10:45,291 --> 00:10:47,750
During such discussions,

191
00:10:48,666 --> 00:10:52,208
people told me
about a certain Raja Kolander

192
00:10:52,875 --> 00:10:55,041
who was imprisoned

193
00:10:55,666 --> 00:10:56,750
for a grievous crime

194
00:10:57,708 --> 00:10:58,916
and was in a cell.

195
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,833
I gave him my message.

196
00:11:04,666 --> 00:11:06,458
Then he began writing to me

197
00:11:06,541 --> 00:11:11,291
to clarify some questions
and doubts about spirituality.

198
00:11:13,125 --> 00:11:17,958
Then I answered
all of his questions to his satisfaction.

199
00:11:18,041 --> 00:11:20,583
He was so influenced that

200
00:11:20,666 --> 00:11:24,500
he became a staunch devotee of my Guru
His Holiness Prabhu Shraddhanand.

201
00:11:25,125 --> 00:11:28,250
He followed a guru
named Prabhu Shraddhanand.

202
00:11:28,333 --> 00:11:33,708
He would always
chant his name. I nodded along.

203
00:11:33,791 --> 00:11:38,208
Because if I would share my views
on religion, he would not have carried on.

204
00:11:38,291 --> 00:11:41,041
So, I had to go along with his faith.

205
00:11:41,708 --> 00:11:43,125
Only then affection will build.

206
00:11:43,208 --> 00:11:46,458
There can be no affection
if there is doubt.

207
00:11:49,250 --> 00:11:51,500
He even wrote to me once.

208
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,833
That whatever might have been
the reason which landed him in jail,

209
00:11:55,916 --> 00:11:58,125
but his journey was now fruitful

210
00:11:58,208 --> 00:12:01,125
as he had found god, and he promised me

211
00:12:01,208 --> 00:12:03,541
that the day he
would be released from jail,

212
00:12:03,625 --> 00:12:05,916
he would dedicate his life

213
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,416
to serve my seminary
and towards spirituality,

214
00:12:09,500 --> 00:12:13,958
and Prabhu Shraddhanand.

215
00:12:17,583 --> 00:12:21,125
His ritual practices were way too much.

216
00:12:21,208 --> 00:12:23,750
You may call it abnormal.

217
00:12:23,833 --> 00:12:26,583
He would pray for six to eight hours.

218
00:12:26,666 --> 00:12:30,375
He would usually chant
with a garland of beads.

219
00:12:30,458 --> 00:12:34,791
He probably believed that
repeating a chant thousands of times

220
00:12:34,875 --> 00:12:36,458
would fulfill his wishes.

221
00:12:36,541 --> 00:12:41,000
Seemed like he had
an inclination toward occult practices.

222
00:12:41,083 --> 00:12:46,708
He would often talk of Goddess Baglamukhi,
who is believed to bestow powers.

223
00:12:46,791 --> 00:12:48,416
He said he wanted to attain "Siddhi",

224
00:12:48,500 --> 00:12:51,083
so as to achieve
the powers of Goddess Baglamukhi.

225
00:12:54,375 --> 00:12:58,375
What you popularly call Goddess Baglamukhi
is the Forest Goddess for us.

226
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,333
Those who worshipped the Forest Goddess

227
00:13:01,916 --> 00:13:03,958
would usually offer a sacrifice.

228
00:13:04,625 --> 00:13:07,958
In earlier times, they would
sacrifice pigs or goats.

229
00:13:08,041 --> 00:13:09,791
Now they even sacrifice roosters.

230
00:13:13,583 --> 00:13:17,916
In fact, once he even made arrangements

231
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,791
to start a ritualistic fire

232
00:13:20,666 --> 00:13:22,166
inside his cell.

233
00:13:22,250 --> 00:13:26,125
But smoke coming from a cell
at night triggered the siren.

234
00:13:41,875 --> 00:13:45,125
Everyone panicked wondering
where the smoke came from.

235
00:13:45,208 --> 00:13:47,291
He told them
he had started a ritualistic fire

236
00:13:48,583 --> 00:13:49,875
to attain mystical powers.

237
00:13:54,875 --> 00:13:58,416
If he was worshiping the deity Baglamukhi,

238
00:13:58,500 --> 00:13:59,958
especially at night,

239
00:14:00,041 --> 00:14:03,708
it means he wanted
to acquire power from "black magic."

240
00:14:03,791 --> 00:14:05,875
Baglamukhi is the deity of shamans,

241
00:14:06,458 --> 00:14:09,875
who is perceived as a device

242
00:14:09,958 --> 00:14:13,291
to acquire powers
through "tantric" occult practices.

243
00:14:17,666 --> 00:14:20,125
God dwells in your heart.

244
00:14:20,208 --> 00:14:25,250
When it enters your being,
it guides you at every step.

245
00:14:25,333 --> 00:14:28,208
This is how
the public sees spiritual people.

246
00:14:28,291 --> 00:14:30,000
They may think he's mentally unstable

247
00:14:30,083 --> 00:14:31,875
but in reality,
he's beyond their comprehension.

248
00:14:31,958 --> 00:14:33,416
If he starts talking to god,

249
00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:37,083
they will wonder if he's gone mad.

250
00:14:37,166 --> 00:14:40,291
But only that person knows.

251
00:14:40,375 --> 00:14:41,708
So, can you talk to God?

252
00:14:41,791 --> 00:14:45,083
Well, let's not dig deeper than that.

253
00:14:45,166 --> 00:14:48,416
I prefer to keep it confidential.

254
00:14:48,500 --> 00:14:53,166
God's message to me has been,
to do what needs to be done.

255
00:14:53,916 --> 00:14:55,500
God is present to handle the rest.

256
00:14:57,875 --> 00:15:01,333
There was a very high chance
that he was delusional,

257
00:15:01,416 --> 00:15:04,708
and he also could be
hallucinating at times

258
00:15:04,791 --> 00:15:07,500
with voices commanding him to kill.

259
00:15:07,583 --> 00:15:11,375
I have a natural resistance
to killing anyone, and so have you.

260
00:15:11,458 --> 00:15:14,958
But these people, when that
breaks down, they don't have it.

261
00:15:15,041 --> 00:15:19,333
You have to abdicate your will,
your personal responsibility,

262
00:15:19,416 --> 00:15:22,791
and what better way to do it
than create hallucination

263
00:15:22,875 --> 00:15:26,041
and say that voices told me
to go ahead and do that.

264
00:15:26,125 --> 00:15:28,833
COMMITTED 14 MURDERS

265
00:15:28,916 --> 00:15:31,458
DENIES ALL ACCUSATIONS

266
00:15:31,541 --> 00:15:32,541
TWO SKULLS RECOVERED
FROM PIGGERY FARM

267
00:15:32,625 --> 00:15:33,500
AND TWO SKULLS INSIDE THE HOUSE

268
00:15:33,583 --> 00:15:35,250
INSANE, BRUTAL, INHUMAN, TERRIFYING

269
00:15:35,333 --> 00:15:36,875
KILLER, FIERCE, MAN-EATER

270
00:15:38,750 --> 00:15:41,875
If you study
the criminal history of Ram Niranjan,

271
00:15:42,666 --> 00:15:46,250
he might seem like
a very interesting character.

272
00:15:46,333 --> 00:15:50,875
A character who lives
in an imagined reality.

273
00:15:51,666 --> 00:15:55,541
On one hand,
he repeatedly gets hurt due to reality,

274
00:15:55,625 --> 00:15:57,333
and the society around him.

275
00:15:57,416 --> 00:16:01,125
On the other hand, the imagined reality
of the things he has lost,

276
00:16:01,208 --> 00:16:04,958
and he wants it back.

277
00:16:05,041 --> 00:16:08,833
And, these two conflicting aspects

278
00:16:08,916 --> 00:16:10,833
form the core of his personality.

279
00:16:20,583 --> 00:16:23,250
Raja Kolander always wanted

280
00:16:23,333 --> 00:16:26,416
to enter politics through crime.

281
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,541
He believed himself
to be the king of Kols.

282
00:16:29,625 --> 00:16:31,333
That's why he titled
his diary as <i>Raja's Diary</i>.

283
00:16:31,416 --> 00:16:34,625
RAJA'S DIARY

284
00:16:34,708 --> 00:16:39,541
Yes, he would have an alternate reality

285
00:16:39,625 --> 00:16:41,916
inside his head that he's a king.

286
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,916
He's different.

287
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,458
That itself is a delusion.

288
00:16:56,041 --> 00:16:59,250
Kings have a special significance
in the Kol community.

289
00:16:59,333 --> 00:17:02,541
Just as we have an administration now,

290
00:17:03,208 --> 00:17:05,791
similarly the Kol community had kings

291
00:17:05,875 --> 00:17:07,416
and they had an administration.

292
00:17:08,291 --> 00:17:10,875
They even had
laws and regulations of their own.

293
00:17:12,875 --> 00:17:15,583
His actual name was Ram Niranjan.

294
00:17:15,666 --> 00:17:17,791
But Raja Kolander means
the "king of Kols."

295
00:17:20,916 --> 00:17:23,875
It's a very spiritual kind of name.

296
00:17:23,958 --> 00:17:25,416
Ram Niranjan…

297
00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:27,541
It does not signify control.

298
00:17:27,625 --> 00:17:31,208
And, he would be
going about in his mind and saying,

299
00:17:31,291 --> 00:17:36,208
"The name Ram Niranjan
does not denote any control."

300
00:17:36,291 --> 00:17:40,541
Let me think of words
or names which signify control.

301
00:17:40,625 --> 00:17:43,250
Which signifies power over others.

302
00:17:46,333 --> 00:17:48,291
He would put up signs outside his home

303
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,625
stating that "Raja is not home."

304
00:17:52,333 --> 00:17:55,958
The visitors could literally read
"The king is not home."

305
00:17:59,583 --> 00:18:03,625
So he feels that
he has got greater control

306
00:18:03,708 --> 00:18:07,708
over his universe,
over his people by doing so.

307
00:18:07,791 --> 00:18:11,750
The way his mind worked
was very different.

308
00:18:12,833 --> 00:18:15,333
He would think of himself as a king.

309
00:18:15,916 --> 00:18:19,916
Hence, when he committed murders
it was as if he sentenced them to death.

310
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,333
He would write down their names. He
would think he had administered justice.

311
00:18:24,416 --> 00:18:28,708
He would act like a king,
judge who was wrong,

312
00:18:28,791 --> 00:18:30,125
and hand out sentences.

313
00:18:34,083 --> 00:18:37,958
The way the king has
absolute right to dispense with life

314
00:18:38,041 --> 00:18:40,625
or take away the life of his subject.

315
00:18:40,708 --> 00:18:42,791
These people, perhaps for him,

316
00:18:42,875 --> 00:18:46,250
turned out to be his subjects
whose life he could take

317
00:18:46,333 --> 00:18:48,416
and do whatever
he wanted to as he pleased.

318
00:18:52,916 --> 00:18:56,333
What about the name
"Raja Kolander" you gave to yourself?

319
00:18:56,416 --> 00:19:00,208
No! Everyone fondly called me
Raja Sahab or Raja Bhaiyya

320
00:19:00,291 --> 00:19:03,958
because I was the youngest in the family.

321
00:19:04,041 --> 00:19:07,416
Nowhere you'll see my name
written as Raja Kolander.

322
00:19:07,500 --> 00:19:11,958
I am being tried here
under the name Ram Niranjan.

323
00:19:12,041 --> 00:19:13,750
But in Lucknow, it was Raja Kolander.

324
00:19:13,833 --> 00:19:17,041
Because I think they didn't
investigate it closely.

325
00:19:17,125 --> 00:19:20,041
They scribbled down my name
while taking down orders and added

326
00:19:20,125 --> 00:19:22,833
the alias Raja Kolander to my name.

327
00:19:23,708 --> 00:19:26,500
I don't clearly remember his formal name.

328
00:19:26,583 --> 00:19:29,000
I know him as Raja Kolander.

329
00:19:29,666 --> 00:19:31,291
Everyone knew him as Raja Kolander.

330
00:19:32,041 --> 00:19:35,500
Even the letters
he would send me were signed

331
00:19:35,583 --> 00:19:39,791
"Crime Supremo, Raja Kolander,"
and "RK" for short.

332
00:19:42,875 --> 00:19:45,125
I CAN COMMIT MANY MURDERS FOR YOU

333
00:19:45,208 --> 00:19:49,333
I CAN GRAB ANY LAND FOR YOU
AND EVEN FIRE AN AK-47 FOR YOU

334
00:19:57,541 --> 00:20:00,208
Kolander's criminal mentality is evident

335
00:20:00,291 --> 00:20:02,750
from the fact that he named his children

336
00:20:02,833 --> 00:20:05,625
Adalat, Jamanat, and Andolan.

337
00:20:06,375 --> 00:20:07,958
One son was named Adalat
which means "court."

338
00:20:08,916 --> 00:20:10,791
Another son, Jamanat, meaning "bail,"

339
00:20:10,875 --> 00:20:12,875
and, a daughter named
Andolan, meaning "revolt."

340
00:20:14,041 --> 00:20:19,166
The justice protocol
in the modern electoral system

341
00:20:19,250 --> 00:20:22,916
has terms like
"courtroom" and "court hearing."

342
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,750
And he still harbored

343
00:20:26,833 --> 00:20:30,791
the same old notion
of justice from jungles.

344
00:20:30,875 --> 00:20:35,000
When he learned
about courtrooms, he named his son Adalat.

345
00:20:38,708 --> 00:20:41,125
"Revolt" is needed to gain power.

346
00:20:41,208 --> 00:20:43,083
He had witnessed how revolting

347
00:20:43,166 --> 00:20:46,458
could pressurize the administration

348
00:20:47,333 --> 00:20:51,583
into yielding to your demands.

349
00:20:54,166 --> 00:20:56,708
So, he named his daughter Andolan.

350
00:20:56,791 --> 00:21:01,041
Jamanat is very interesting
because speaking metaphorically

351
00:21:01,125 --> 00:21:03,791
and considering the local history,

352
00:21:03,875 --> 00:21:05,708
I feel Jamanat or "bail"

353
00:21:05,791 --> 00:21:07,625
is important for two types of people.

354
00:21:07,708 --> 00:21:10,125
One are the wrongdoers

355
00:21:10,208 --> 00:21:12,958
and the other are protestors.

356
00:21:13,041 --> 00:21:15,958
People were getting arrested
during protests in his area.

357
00:21:16,041 --> 00:21:17,666
Then they would get bail.

358
00:21:19,125 --> 00:21:23,375
These are the concepts
which would be going on inside his head.

359
00:21:23,458 --> 00:21:27,125
"Court, bail, revolt…" Right?

360
00:21:28,041 --> 00:21:31,375
Now, a person
like Raja Kolander would imagine

361
00:21:31,458 --> 00:21:38,125
that his actions are a part
of the legal criminal justice system.

362
00:21:38,208 --> 00:21:40,416
That he's the criminal justice system

363
00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:43,875
and the system begins with him.

364
00:21:43,958 --> 00:21:46,500
That he is
beyond the criminal justice system.

365
00:21:51,750 --> 00:21:55,458
Somebody in my in-law's family
had won a court case that day.

366
00:21:55,541 --> 00:21:59,416
So, I named him Adalat
to rejoice the occasion.

367
00:21:59,500 --> 00:22:01,833
-You named another "Jamanat."
-Yes.

368
00:22:01,916 --> 00:22:05,458
Jamanat was just his nickname,
his actual name is Naveen Kumar.

369
00:22:05,541 --> 00:22:06,375
Naveen Kumar.

370
00:22:06,458 --> 00:22:10,791
I gave them such
outlandish names so that they stood out.

371
00:22:13,083 --> 00:22:15,208
Uttar Pradesh police believes that

372
00:22:15,291 --> 00:22:19,166
Ram Niranjan alias
Raja Kolander is an intelligent criminal

373
00:22:19,250 --> 00:22:22,083
who can trick you
into believing his stories.

374
00:22:22,166 --> 00:22:23,750
But the court demands proof.

375
00:22:24,416 --> 00:22:28,875
From Kolander, the police recovered
a Tata Sumo stolen from Lucknow.

376
00:22:28,958 --> 00:22:31,041
How did he get this vehicle?

377
00:22:31,125 --> 00:22:35,166
Was the reporter Veerendra Singh
also related to this Tata Sumo?

378
00:22:38,375 --> 00:22:41,833
In those times,
Kol tribals did not own vehicles.

379
00:22:41,916 --> 00:22:43,750
During the times in question here,

380
00:22:45,083 --> 00:22:49,416
Kol tribals could barely
afford motorbikes.

381
00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:53,166
My father owned a Sumo car and a Jeep car.

382
00:22:58,583 --> 00:23:00,041
And a scooter too.

383
00:23:05,083 --> 00:23:09,375
I do not know how he got them.

384
00:23:09,458 --> 00:23:12,625
I was around 18 then,
but yes, he did own a vehicle.

385
00:23:13,291 --> 00:23:14,458
It's true.

386
00:23:14,541 --> 00:23:18,875
I had no car, just had one scooter.
A Member of Parliament owned a Tata Sumo.

387
00:23:18,958 --> 00:23:21,291
We used that
for election campaigns and travel.

388
00:23:28,541 --> 00:23:31,083
They have accused me
of stealing a Jeep from Chitrakoot.

389
00:23:32,333 --> 00:23:35,500
I knew a person named Vijay Bahadur Singh.

390
00:23:35,583 --> 00:23:38,041
When he retired
from service, he bought a Jeep.

391
00:23:38,125 --> 00:23:41,666
He would offer passenger rides
and parked it at my home sometimes.

392
00:23:41,750 --> 00:23:43,500
Even I would borrow it at times.

393
00:23:43,583 --> 00:23:45,750
I would use it to run errands

394
00:23:46,375 --> 00:23:47,958
or for election campaigns.

395
00:23:48,625 --> 00:23:51,541
He had the Tata Sumo
before he entered politics.

396
00:23:52,250 --> 00:23:54,166
He owned it even before that.

397
00:23:54,250 --> 00:23:56,500
-Even before?
-Yes.

398
00:23:56,583 --> 00:23:58,916
In fact, both the vehicles.

399
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,250
DISTRICT COUNCIL MEMBER

400
00:24:11,875 --> 00:24:13,166
Speaking of that Tata Sumo…

401
00:24:13,250 --> 00:24:16,041
The one which got him caught…

402
00:24:16,625 --> 00:24:20,250
When I asked him about it
he told me his wife was ill

403
00:24:20,333 --> 00:24:22,125
and he had taken her to Lucknow.

404
00:24:22,916 --> 00:24:26,791
To come back, he had hired a vehicle,

405
00:24:26,875 --> 00:24:29,083
and the driver was someone named Ravi.

406
00:24:30,250 --> 00:24:31,916
The vehicle owner was named Manoj.

407
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,791
MANOJ SINGH
RAVI SRIVASTAVA

408
00:24:37,625 --> 00:24:40,541
It happened on 23 January, 2000.

409
00:24:40,625 --> 00:24:46,083
Some people booked the vehicle
for Allahabad for transporting a patient.

410
00:24:47,875 --> 00:24:50,750
Since, our home is
on the Lucknow-Allahabad highway,

411
00:24:50,833 --> 00:24:52,958
they came to my place

412
00:24:53,041 --> 00:24:56,666
at around 5 or 6 o'clock.

413
00:24:57,541 --> 00:25:01,583
I thought it was a usual patient.

414
00:25:01,666 --> 00:25:04,375
So, I offered them tea.

415
00:25:04,458 --> 00:25:08,041
Meanwhile, Manoj and Ravi got dressed.

416
00:25:08,750 --> 00:25:11,291
At around 6:00 p.m.,

417
00:25:11,375 --> 00:25:13,875
our vehicle left for Allahabad.

418
00:25:27,833 --> 00:25:33,500
The plan was to drop them off
and return in three hours or so.

419
00:25:38,833 --> 00:25:43,041
I grew suspicious when the vehicle
didn't return even after 10:00 p.m.

420
00:25:43,125 --> 00:25:47,583
We started getting crazy thoughts.

421
00:25:48,750 --> 00:25:51,750
We were afraid
it got surrounded by miscreants

422
00:25:51,833 --> 00:25:54,333
because there was
no means of contact in those days.

423
00:25:58,291 --> 00:26:00,666
When the vehicle didn't return at night,

424
00:26:00,750 --> 00:26:03,416
we left from home with our other cars

425
00:26:04,291 --> 00:26:08,416
to search for the vehicle
in the same direction.

426
00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:10,083
From Raebareli to Allahabad.

427
00:26:13,333 --> 00:26:16,375
We had gone to Lucknow

428
00:26:16,458 --> 00:26:19,458
for my brother's housewarming function.

429
00:26:19,541 --> 00:26:22,500
-How did you travel there?
-By train.

430
00:26:22,583 --> 00:26:24,916
We participated
in the ritualistic prayers,

431
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,291
and we also had to return.

432
00:26:27,250 --> 00:26:29,125
We didn't have the Tata Sumo then.

433
00:26:29,208 --> 00:26:30,958
Did you have the Jeep Commander then?

434
00:26:31,041 --> 00:26:32,458
Yes, maybe we did.

435
00:26:34,583 --> 00:26:37,708
Yes, I think we have traveled
in that Commander SUV.

436
00:26:39,083 --> 00:26:41,583
A few others had arrived by train.

437
00:26:41,666 --> 00:26:44,083
Everyone couldn't fit in.
Ours was a big family.

438
00:26:44,166 --> 00:26:46,208
Only the important ones
traveled in the Jeep.

439
00:26:47,583 --> 00:26:51,125
That's how we came back too.
The Tata Sumo was never there.

440
00:26:52,708 --> 00:26:57,208
Raja Kolander told me
they were returning in the Tata Sumo.

441
00:26:57,291 --> 00:26:59,291
So, he changed his mind.

442
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,041
He planned to kill
and dispose of them both

443
00:27:02,125 --> 00:27:05,458
and steal the vehicle
since he didn't have one.

444
00:27:05,541 --> 00:27:10,000
Just a few miles from Shankargarh,

445
00:27:10,083 --> 00:27:12,375
the terrain changes to a jungle.

446
00:27:17,625 --> 00:27:20,833
That's where he killed
the driver and the conductor

447
00:27:21,625 --> 00:27:22,916
and dumped their bodies.

448
00:28:07,958 --> 00:28:10,291
And then, he kept the vehicle.

449
00:28:21,458 --> 00:28:24,375
We reached Allahabad
searching for the vehicle.

450
00:28:25,083 --> 00:28:27,416
We had many friends
from the media fraternity

451
00:28:27,500 --> 00:28:30,000
accompanying us from Raebaraeli.

452
00:28:30,083 --> 00:28:31,375
Through their contacts,

453
00:28:31,458 --> 00:28:33,541
we got in touch
with media personnel from Allahabad.

454
00:28:34,375 --> 00:28:36,541
Dheerendra was one among them.

455
00:28:37,833 --> 00:28:41,083
We circulated the details,
color and make of the vehicle.

456
00:28:43,083 --> 00:28:45,833
When we filed a complaint
and came back home,

457
00:28:45,916 --> 00:28:50,125
Dheerendra was the one
who found out that it was our vehicle.

458
00:28:50,958 --> 00:28:52,500
Kolander had changed…

459
00:28:54,083 --> 00:28:56,333
the color of the Tata Sumo.

460
00:28:56,416 --> 00:28:59,416
He had painted the white SUV green.

461
00:29:02,083 --> 00:29:04,208
We found out much later

462
00:29:04,833 --> 00:29:09,208
that the registration plates on it
belonged to a motorcycle.

463
00:29:09,291 --> 00:29:12,416
DISTRICT COUNCIL MEMBER

464
00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:14,791
Dheerendra once told me

465
00:29:14,875 --> 00:29:18,125
that Kolander was
into something shady and illegal.

466
00:29:20,041 --> 00:29:22,375
He wanted to expose Kolander.

467
00:29:22,458 --> 00:29:25,833
Dheerendra told me this
just 20 days before he was murdered.

468
00:29:27,250 --> 00:29:31,791
Even Kolander sensed
that he might soon be exposed.

469
00:29:31,875 --> 00:29:35,666
Maybe, Dheerendra had
asked him a few questions.

470
00:29:37,125 --> 00:29:40,833
There is no doubt that
Kolander was a heinous criminal.

471
00:29:40,916 --> 00:29:44,625
Other serial killers
have different motives.

472
00:29:44,708 --> 00:29:46,916
But Kolander's motive was to gain power.

473
00:29:50,875 --> 00:29:52,125
His hunger for money

474
00:29:52,208 --> 00:29:55,041
and his mad thirst for power

475
00:29:55,125 --> 00:29:57,750
pushed him further towards crime.

476
00:30:03,875 --> 00:30:08,416
To describe Ram Niranjan's
personality at a deeper level,

477
00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:13,875
he seems like a person
who lives in metaphors.

478
00:30:13,958 --> 00:30:17,166
And those metaphors arise
from his imagined reality.

479
00:30:18,166 --> 00:30:20,208
Andolan, Jamanat

480
00:30:20,291 --> 00:30:22,375
Phoolan Devi, Raja Kolander…

481
00:30:22,458 --> 00:30:23,958
They are all metaphors

482
00:30:24,041 --> 00:30:27,708
in which he is living
and there's a desire behind them.

483
00:30:27,791 --> 00:30:32,625
In his desire for power,
he tried to pursue politics,

484
00:30:32,708 --> 00:30:35,291
but entering into politics is not easy.

485
00:30:35,375 --> 00:30:37,375
It is regulated by middlemen.

486
00:30:37,458 --> 00:30:41,500
And that was not an option for him
because he was a common man.

487
00:30:41,583 --> 00:30:43,291
An ordinary Kol tribesman.

488
00:30:50,333 --> 00:30:54,833
The political environment back then
was conducive for a subaltern uprising.

489
00:30:55,333 --> 00:30:59,166
It was very much in its favor.

490
00:30:59,250 --> 00:31:02,375
That was the era when
the Bahujan Samaj Party was on the rise.

491
00:31:02,458 --> 00:31:04,166
Many new faces

492
00:31:04,791 --> 00:31:07,000
of the Dalit community
became legislators and ministers.

493
00:31:07,625 --> 00:31:09,000
Mayawati was Chief Minister
for four terms.

494
00:31:09,791 --> 00:31:13,708
Phoolan Devi emerged
as a great leader in Uttar Pradesh.

495
00:31:13,791 --> 00:31:15,833
Ram Niranjan wished to enter
the same arena

496
00:31:15,916 --> 00:31:20,750
Such desires for power were not unusual.

497
00:31:20,833 --> 00:31:25,958
But the path he chose
was invented by himself.

498
00:31:35,541 --> 00:31:40,125
Kolander would do all of that
which gave him power.

499
00:31:40,208 --> 00:31:43,083
Like, worshiping
Goddess Baglamukhi for gaining power.

500
00:31:43,958 --> 00:31:46,750
Aspiring to contest
in democratic elections.

501
00:31:47,833 --> 00:31:51,916
Contesting elections himself, or making
his wife or sister-in-law contest.

502
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,666
Aspiring to become
a Member of Legislative Assembly

503
00:31:54,750 --> 00:31:56,541
because he had the votes of the Kol clan.

504
00:31:56,625 --> 00:31:58,750
He wanted to acquire more power

505
00:31:58,833 --> 00:32:01,583
using the votes
of his community and he pursued that.

506
00:32:01,666 --> 00:32:04,208
DISTRICT COUNCIL MEMBER

507
00:32:04,291 --> 00:32:06,416
Second, stealing the Tata Sumo.

508
00:32:06,500 --> 00:32:08,583
Then, Tata Sumo was quite symbolic.

509
00:32:08,666 --> 00:32:11,666
In a way, that Tata Sumo depicted power

510
00:32:11,750 --> 00:32:13,416
in the rural community.

511
00:32:13,500 --> 00:32:15,791
Previously, rich men
owned elephants in villages.

512
00:32:15,875 --> 00:32:18,833
In modern times, they owned SUVs.

513
00:32:18,916 --> 00:32:20,750
So, he stole that Tata Sumo.

514
00:32:20,833 --> 00:32:24,333
Then, he loaned out money to people.

515
00:32:25,166 --> 00:32:28,250
He was not lending as a money lender.

516
00:32:28,333 --> 00:32:30,541
He wouldn't charge interest.

517
00:32:30,625 --> 00:32:33,458
He wanted to experience

518
00:32:33,541 --> 00:32:35,208
the power of being a giver.

519
00:32:35,291 --> 00:32:37,708
Who has such power? One who is affluent.

520
00:32:37,791 --> 00:32:42,208
So, he wanted to experience
the might of being a giver

521
00:32:42,291 --> 00:32:44,333
and fulfill his notion of power.

522
00:32:50,375 --> 00:32:52,791
He wants to acquire all the power.

523
00:32:52,875 --> 00:32:55,083
All possible kinds of power.

524
00:32:55,166 --> 00:32:57,958
One of his victims
from the <i>Lala</i> caste had said

525
00:32:58,041 --> 00:33:00,125
that he will plot a way
to not return his money

526
00:33:00,208 --> 00:33:01,958
because <i>Lalas</i> presumably
have a sharp mind.

527
00:33:02,041 --> 00:33:03,208
The power of brains.

528
00:33:03,291 --> 00:33:06,291
He was labeled a tribal all his life,
a simpleton from the jungles.

529
00:33:06,375 --> 00:33:09,500
He was told he wasn't intelligent.

530
00:33:09,583 --> 00:33:13,958
He was afraid that the <i>Lala's</i>
clever ploys would dominate him.

531
00:33:19,500 --> 00:33:22,666
So, he killed him,
boiled his brain, and drank it.

532
00:33:22,750 --> 00:33:25,166
He wanted to internalize
the power of his brain.

533
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,166
Or else, why would he drink his brain?

534
00:33:28,250 --> 00:33:31,583
There are other ways
to satisfy meat cravings.

535
00:33:36,708 --> 00:33:39,666
So, basically all his life,

536
00:33:39,750 --> 00:33:44,750
he tried to acquire power
in every possible way

537
00:33:44,833 --> 00:33:48,166
that occurred to him.

538
00:33:50,250 --> 00:33:51,541
DISTRICT COUNCIL MEMBER

539
00:34:02,083 --> 00:34:03,708
TRUTH SHALL PREVAIL

540
00:34:40,458 --> 00:34:42,541
One person commits crime.

541
00:34:42,625 --> 00:34:45,250
But the society faces the consequences

542
00:34:45,833 --> 00:34:50,458
for many years to come.

543
00:34:52,666 --> 00:34:54,041
Whatever he did

544
00:34:54,916 --> 00:34:59,166
was aimed at gaining power,
for his own selfish motives,

545
00:34:59,250 --> 00:35:02,416
to prove himself powerful in the society,

546
00:35:03,125 --> 00:35:04,583
and not for the sake of his community.

547
00:35:07,083 --> 00:35:09,958
The ordinary Kols of the region

548
00:35:10,583 --> 00:35:12,666
used to criticize him.

549
00:35:12,750 --> 00:35:14,583
In fact, they still do.

550
00:35:16,250 --> 00:35:21,583
We agree, we too believe
that a criminal has no caste.

551
00:35:24,041 --> 00:35:27,208
To us, it never seemed,
that Raja Kolander ever had regrets.

552
00:35:28,791 --> 00:35:32,375
I visited him
on the day of his sentencing.

553
00:35:32,458 --> 00:35:33,541
DISTRICT COURT, ALLAHABAD

554
00:35:33,625 --> 00:35:38,041
When the lawyers and reporters
were clicking his photos

555
00:35:38,125 --> 00:35:40,625
he told them that
he was caught because of them.

556
00:35:42,625 --> 00:35:43,750
Those were his words.

557
00:35:45,750 --> 00:35:48,208
This is a media trial and mob justice.

558
00:35:48,291 --> 00:35:50,500
I am completely innocent.

559
00:35:50,583 --> 00:35:52,000
-Let's move.
-Okay.

560
00:36:07,500 --> 00:36:09,375
Now, I do not care

561
00:36:10,083 --> 00:36:12,875
whether they release me or not.

562
00:36:12,958 --> 00:36:18,458
After these many accusations, I would
only be released when my case is decided.

563
00:36:18,541 --> 00:36:20,208
Spirituality that is all I have.

564
00:36:20,291 --> 00:36:23,458
Now I don't even care if I'm released.

565
00:36:24,083 --> 00:36:28,541
DISTRICT PRISON, UNNAO

566
00:36:28,625 --> 00:36:33,500
He should be inside for his safety

567
00:36:33,583 --> 00:36:35,541
and for the safety of others.

568
00:36:38,541 --> 00:36:43,000
If Raja Kolander is even released

569
00:36:43,083 --> 00:36:46,666
or granted parole,
he will surely commit a crime.

570
00:36:47,250 --> 00:36:48,625
I will say it again.

571
00:36:49,208 --> 00:36:51,625
Because that's his primal nature.

572
00:36:52,291 --> 00:36:56,791
And when he a commits crime,
he will again be a threat to society.

573
00:36:58,833 --> 00:37:02,375
I don't think that such criminals

574
00:37:02,458 --> 00:37:04,625
should be released into society so soon.

575
00:37:04,708 --> 00:37:07,541
Some more time should pass.
He should age a little more.

576
00:37:07,625 --> 00:37:11,250
So that he isn't
physically capable of committing crimes.

577
00:37:14,041 --> 00:37:15,166
Raja Kolander…

578
00:37:16,916 --> 00:37:18,833
is not someone whom you'll meet every day.

579
00:37:19,500 --> 00:37:20,833
His personality is unique.

580
00:37:21,833 --> 00:37:23,875
You may meet criminals every day.

581
00:37:23,958 --> 00:37:26,625
But such a criminal who lives in metaphors

582
00:37:26,708 --> 00:37:28,666
and imagined realities,

583
00:37:28,750 --> 00:37:32,416
who can resort to black magic,

584
00:37:32,500 --> 00:37:36,375
elections, commit murders for power,
one who has such a range,

585
00:37:36,458 --> 00:37:38,750
whether good or bad--
is impossible to find.

586
00:40:53,708 --> 00:40:58,708
