Hunted by the Butcher: Rajpur’s Serial Nightmare

Author: Diya Verma

Chapter 6: The Devil Evolves

The scene was as savage as a wild animal devouring a human, yet not a single piece of evidence was left behind.

The local press compared the killer to a rakshasa—an evil demon from myth. People started locking their doors before sunset.

Who was this mad beast? Could there truly be a perfect crime, beyond the comprehension of ordinary people?

Arjun forced himself to stay calm, reviewed all the cases together, and made three key deductions:

First, the killer must have a vehicle—he couldn’t have transported victims to remote locations on foot.

Second, the killer must appear completely harmless—perhaps even someone women and children would trust. Once hidden in a crowd, he would be hard to find.

Third, this person must have a hidden psychological disorder, likely sexual in nature.

Later investigations would prove most of Arjun’s deductions correct, but for now, he was still at a dead end.

He scribbled notes in his worn diary, underlining his theories thrice, hoping that somewhere, a pattern would emerge.

The police began a thorough search of people with prior sexual assault records, psychiatric patients, and anyone nearby who owned a car.

But no clues emerged.
