Serial Killer Raman Raghav (1929 - 1995)
In August 1968, a series of murders reported from the outskirts of the city, caught the public imagination. The victims in all cases were poor people living in ramshackle huts and temporary structures, who eked out their living rather precariously.
He was a psychopathic serial killer who operated in the city of Mumbai (then Mumbai ), India in the mid-1960s. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia after his arrest. Very little is known about Raghav's early life or circumstances that led him to commit the crimes.
One common feature was that all the victims had head injuries inflicted by a hard and blunt object while they were asleep. The murders were apparently motiveless and even in cases that involved petty gain, the violence inflicted on the victims was totally disproportionate to the gain.
In that year, as many as nineteen persons had been attacked while asleep and all of them had received head injuries. While nine of them had succumbed to their injuries, none of the survivors, unfortunately, could recollect anything useful enough to establish the identity of the assailant.
Most of the victims were residents of hutments constructed along a municipal water pipe line, popularly known as the ‘duct line’.
The local police had introduced round-the-clock patrolling along the ‘duct line’ and before long the police party had picked up a suspicious character found prowling in that area. The suspect gave his name as ‘Raman Raghav’, but old records disclosed that he had several aliases like ‘Sindhi Dalwai’, ‘Talwai’, ‘Anna’, ‘Thambi’ and ‘Veluswami’.
His fingerprints were on record and his case history revealed that he had as many as nine previous convictions, mostly for property offences. He had suffered imprisonment for five years for robbery, although the initial charge against him had been of murder coupled with robbery.
The proponents of environmental criminology talk of the ‘geometry of crime’, according to which crimes usually occur at a safe distance though not far from the place of residence or work of the culprit, as he is familiar with the area.
At the same time, the area around his residence or place of work is relatively free from his depredations, for the simple reason that he is known in that locality and is likely to be identified. It was time now to trace him, but tracing persons with no fixed place of residence, in a sprawling and congested city like Mumbai , is indeed a formidable task.
An alert sub-inspector of police named Alex Fialho noticed during patrolling, a person wearing khaki shorts, a blue bush shirt and a pair of canvas shoes. He also carried an umbrella. Sub-inspector Fialho detained and searched him in the presence of two respectable witnesses from the area, as required by law.
The suspect carried, on his person, a pair of spectacles, two combs, a pair of scissors, a stand for burning incense, soap, garlic, tea dust and two pieces of paper with some mathematical figures. The bush shirt and khaki shorts, which he was wearing had bloodstains and the crevices in his shoes were full of mud.
A quick comparison of his fingerprints with those on record confirmed that the suspect was indeed Raman Raghav alias Sindhi Dalvai. The news of his arrest spread like wildfire and large crowds gathered at Crawford Market, where the offices of the Commissioner of Police and the Crime Branch (CID) are located. The Police Commissioner, Mr Modak, felicitated Sub-inspector Fialo and sanctioned him a spot reward of Rs 1,000.
The news of the arrest made headlines in all the evening papers that day. The celebration, however, was short-lived and our real ordeal began soon. If earlier experiences were any indication, the interrogation of this suspect, however intensive or prolonged, was unlikely to yield any tangible results.
There was no guarantee that things would be any different now. Two days passed. The suspect continued to maintain a studied silence. Confirmed cynics and a section of the press became more suspicious by the hour and their biting criticism was sometimes unnerving.
The investigating CID officer asked Raman Raghav whether there was anything, which he wanted very much to have. Without a moment’s thought, without even batting an eyelid, Raman Raghav said, “Murgi (Hen).”
A resourceful officer promptly fetched from a nearby restaurant, a dish of chicken with gravy. Raman Raghav must have relished it immensely for he licked his lips as he finished his repast. When asked what else he would like to have he repeated murgi. In due course, he had a second helping as well.
Next, he wanted hair oil, a comb and a mirror. “I would also have liked a prostitute, but I guess, the law does not permit that, while one is in custody,” he added, rather ruefully. Somebody brought him a bottle of perfumed coconut oil, with which he massaged his entire body, appreciating the fragrance of the oil.
After he had combed his hair, he looked admiringly at his own face in the mirror for a long, long time.
In reply of the related question of his hidden weapons, he said:‘Yes, yes. I shall show you that too,’ he replied. ‘I will point out the iron akada used for doing khatam, as also a jemmy, knives and other things which I have concealed in the bushes at Aarey colony,’
