87. The Joshi-Abhyankar Murders - India

Imagine living in a beautiful, peaceful city in India. Life is going well. You have friends, a city you call home, you go to the movies on the weekends, maybe a family lunch date every now and then. Until, one day, you find the movie halls empty, people in their houses before sundown, terror in the eyes of every passerby, and fear in the hearts of thousands furious to lock their doors and windows before going to bed. This was what happened to the beautiful and peaceful city of Pune in 1976 because of a murderous rampage that did not seem to end. This is the story of the four men behind that horrifying murderous rampage. This is the story of the Joshi-Abhyankar serial murders.  Sources https://web.archive.org/web/20110715150717/http://www.rahulchandawarkar.com/news/general/general03float.htm https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune-times/How-to-catch-a-serial-killer/articleshow/1283401768.cms https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/crime-stories/story/19770131-dashmi-nights-terror-poona-city-in-grip-of-panic-after-gruesome-murders-of-two-families-823566-2014-07-22 https://www.casemine.com/judgement/in/5609ac0ee4b014971140de88 https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/know-your-city-joshi-abhyankar-serial-murders-fear-punes-8184128/ https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/joshi-abhyankar-killings-before-nirbhaya-case-4-convicts-were-last-hanged-in-a-day-in-1983-says-repo-2161621 https://www.youtube.com/live/JPfTLrEAdZM?feature=share https://www.nikwik.com/stories/crime/cs4/ https://www.legalbites.in/joshi-abhyankar-case-1976/ https://www.kavisht.com/post/the-joshi-abhyankar-serial-murders-4-dangerous-friends-turned-serial-killers-threatened-entire-pune https://www.rediff.com/news/1999/apr/29mohan.htm
