Indian Predator: The Butcher of Delhi 2022
Indian Predator: The Butcher of Delhi is a 2022 Indian true crime docuseries that debuted on 20 July 2022. VICE India produced the series, with Ayesha Sood serving as director. The Butcher of Delhi examines the police probe into Chandrakant Jha, a serial killer who in 2006–2007 murdered three people near Tihar Jail, each decapitated and left with taunting letters. This first part of a planned Indian Predator collection garnered varied responses. Some reviewers appreciated the intrigue, timing and innovative approach beyond typical detective storytelling. Others faulted the portrayal of Jha as stereotypical, too much reliance on law enforcement viewpoints, insufficient insight, weak structure and too much information given upfront.
