Speaker 2 (0:17) He Speaker 1 (0:17) took Speaker 2 (0:17) out the Speaker 1 (0:18) bag, Speaker 2 (0:18) made soup and drank it. It was his hobby to kill people who were in a strong position. If I kill them and eat their food, I will become strong like them. The boy first murdered his mother, cut her into pieces and put them in a bag. After putting them in a bag, the Agra people brought them from Jhansi to Much Dilale. They travelled by train and were caught by the police. Speaker 1 (0:44) It is said that every person has both good and bad. But sometimes the bad is so overwhelming that a person is not even afraid to kill someone. But the question is, is there any murderer from birth? Or do circumstances, emotions and mental confusion take him to this mode? After all, what is going on in the killer's mind? And does every killer follow a known pattern? Hello, you are watching Indian Murder Mystery. I am Govind and in today's episode, we will not only talk about the crime case, but we will also try to understand the psychology and criminal mindset behind it. And today, Dr. Rakesh Paswan, MBBS MD Neuropsychiatrist, will Speaker 2 (1:30) help us in this. Speaker 1 (1:30) So, let's know the science Speaker 2 (1:32) behind Speaker 1 (1:32) crime and crime in Indian Murder Mystery. Welcome sir, how Speaker 2 (1:37) are you in Speaker 1 (1:37) the studio of Speaker 2 (1:37) Red FM? I am absolutely fine sir. Speaker 1 (1:39) Sir, first of all, we would Speaker 2 (1:40) like to know about Speaker 1 (1:40) your journey and what advice would you like to give to those who want to come in this field? Speaker 2 (1:46) See, the thing about my journey is that I am MBBS from Speaker 1 (1:52) Kanpur Speaker 2 (1:53) Medical College and from SN Medical College, Agra, I am MD Neuro-Psychiatrist. Speaker 1 (1:57) And Speaker 2 (1:58) after that, I have been working in this field since 2013. Speaker 2 (2:03) I have Speaker 1 (2:03) worked on Speaker 2 (2:03) suicide prevention and criminal behaviour. For my Prayagraj, we have started the first suicide helpline in India. We have done a lot of work in this field. Speaker 1 (2:20) If Speaker 2 (2:21) we talk about the people who want to come into this field, So, those people who Speaker 1 (2:26) come into Speaker 2 (2:26) this field, it is an interesting and challenging field. Because in this field, they will Speaker 1 (2:32) have Speaker 2 (2:32) to face such things which they have seen in the imaginary world till today, in movies. They will Speaker 1 (2:39) hear all Speaker 2 (2:39) those incidents in front of Speaker 1 (2:41) them. Speaker 2 (2:42) So, they will Speaker 1 (2:43) feel very Speaker 2 (2:43) strange and they will Speaker 1 (2:45) get Speaker 2 (2:45) a different perspective of the Speaker 1 (2:46) world. Sir, we have heard a lot about psycho killer in TV, films and stories. Speaker 1 (2:53) So, sir, can you tell us how a psycho killer is made? Speaker 2 (2:57) Psycho killers are very difficult Speaker 1 (3:00) to Speaker 2 (3:00) make. They are usually three types of phenomena, biological, psychological and social. Speaker 1 (3:08) They Speaker 2 (3:08) are the top three. Biological means that there are some things in our brain that make us criminals. Speaker 2 (3:20) You will see that some people are serial killers from an unidentified group. Some people are serial killers in Speaker 1 (3:28) the family. They Speaker 2 (3:29) have some biological problems in their brain that make Speaker 1 (3:32) them Speaker 2 (3:32) psycho killers. Secondly, if we talk about social, then what happened to Speaker 1 (3:39) them in childhood, how Speaker 2 (3:40) did their friends remain when Speaker 1 (3:41) they grew up, what Speaker 2 (3:42) drugs did they do? It depends on this that they become psycho killers. Speaker 1 (3:46) And Speaker 2 (3:47) thirdly, psychological, how we perceive things, what has affected us, that can Speaker 1 (3:57) also Speaker 2 (3:57) make a person a psycho killer. So Speaker 1 (3:59) sir, how can we identify them among the people around us? Speaker 2 (4:01) Look, it is very difficult to identify the psycho killers. And you will see that they are usually not from the mainstream of Speaker 1 (4:10) the society. Speaker 2 (4:11) They avoid people. If they are living somewhere, they don't interact with people around them. Speaker 1 (4:17) They Speaker 2 (4:17) behave Speaker 1 (4:17) in a Speaker 2 (4:17) strange way. They are also Speaker 1 (4:19) seen Speaker 2 (4:19) in a strange and poor manner. And sometimes, psycho killers are such people who are very ordinary. They live in the society in an ordinary way. They are also ordinary in their base. But they do such incidents while Speaker 1 (4:33) living in the society. Speaker 2 (4:34) When the situation comes out, it is surprising that how Speaker 1 (4:37) this Speaker 2 (4:37) person has done such a thing. Speaker 1 (4:39) Sir, any personality traits that are commonly found in Speaker 2 (4:44) criminals? Many personality traits are found in criminals. In Speaker 1 (4:49) which Speaker 2 (4:49) there is Anti-Social Personality Disorder. Speaker 1 (4:52) Such Speaker 2 (4:52) people have a feeling of jealousy and hatred from Speaker 1 (4:55) the society. If Speaker 2 (4:56) they are Speaker 1 (4:57) kept Speaker 2 (4:57) in the society, then they have a negative attitude towards people in the society. They don't like people. Similarly, there is a borderline personality disorder in which a person is unable Speaker 1 (5:08) to control his Speaker 2 (5:08) emotions. Similarly, there Speaker 1 (5:12) is a Speaker 2 (5:12) sejoid and sejoid-triple personality disorder in which a person has a strange kind of thinking. He thinks that God has given me the incarnation to correct people or to improve society or to have this kind of feelings. So these personality traits are commonly found in serial killers. Sir, Speaker 1 (5:30) what procedures do you follow before meeting a mentally ill criminal? Is he in handcuffs or do you have any security officers with you? Speaker 2 (5:41) Before meeting mentally ill serial killers, we take good care Speaker 1 (5:48) of their security. Speaker 2 (5:48) We search for them. They can be harmful for Speaker 1 (5:54) themselves Speaker 2 (5:54) and can attack Speaker 1 (5:55) us. Secondly, Speaker 2 (5:58) we open Speaker 1 (5:58) their Speaker 2 (5:58) handcuffs. But we keep the security personnel in a safe place. Because they can be aggressive sometimes. We say things that provoke them. Their emotions come out. they get angry and get upset. So we keep Speaker 1 (6:17)
