Episode Synopsis

Click here to reply to @shreya_27 "How many predators work free because our legal system is slow, or worse, forgiving? And that brings us to one of the most disturbing truths. This book highlights the loopholes in our laws. In India, life imprisonment often translates to just 11 or 14 years. Imagine that, 11 years for destroying an entire life. Shenaar doesn't just tell stories of crime. She forces us to question why justice so often feels incomplete. This book also takes us deep into the minds of criminals themselves."
