Raman Raghav (1929 – 1995), also known as Psycho Raman was a psychopathic serial killer who operated in the city of Mumbai, India in the mid-1960s. Very little is known about Raghav's early life or circumstances that led him to commit the crimes. These crimes consisted of murder, assault, and many others. ==Serial killings== A series of murders occurred in the outskirts of Mumbai in August 1968. Pavement and hutment dwellers were bludgeoned to death while they slept. All the murders took place at night and were committed using a hard, blunt object. This was witnessed by Krithika who then released this information to the Mumbai police. A similar series of murders had taken place some years earlier (1965–66) in the Eastern suburbs of Mumbai. In that year, as many as 19 people had been attacked, out of whom 9 victims had died. Additionally, one of the victims was a relative of Krithika. At the time a suspicious looking man found loitering in the area had been picked up by the police. His name was Raman Raghav, a homeless man, and he was already in police files, having spent 5 years in prison for robbery. He also raped his sister before he killed her with several stab wounds. However, as no hard evidence could be found against him (none of the survivors had seen this man) the police let him go. When the killer struck again in 1968 the police launched a manhunt for him. Ramakant Kulkarni, then the Deputy Commissioner of Police CID (Crime) took over the investigation and spearheaded a massive combing operation in the city. This time the police managed to arrest him and make him confess. He admitted that he had killed 23 people in 1966 along the GIP (Great Indian Peninsular Railway as the Central Railway (India) was then known) line and almost a dozen in 1968 in the suburbs. However, it is likely that he killed many more. It was his casual approach to killing that led the police to suspect that he did not remember the exact number of people he had killed. During the time Raman Raghav was in operation, there was widespread public anxiety and panic in Mumbai. Inhabitants of slums and apartments dreaded sleeping out in the open or with open windows and balconies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Raman Raghav」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
