Episode Details

A chilling case of calculated murder: Sooraj Kumar starved a cobra to make it more aggressive, then used it to kill his wife Uthra while she slept—just months after she’d survived a bizarre snake attack. Motivated by greed, he’d taken out a life insurance policy and stood to inherit her dowry. Her family suspected foul play after noticing how implausible the second snake bite was, especially since Uthra had mentioned Kumar’s snake obsession. When police investigated, he confessed to drugging his wife and buying two snakes. Found guilty of murder with a venomous weapon, he received two life sentences—a landmark verdict in a crime that shocked the nation.
