Kidnapping a traditional healer to extract the secret formula of a herbal medicine… Holding him captive in chains when he refused to reveal it… And when he still remained silent, brutally murdering him—chopping his body into pieces and disposing of them in a river… This horrifying crime took place during the COVID-19 pandemic when the world was locked down in fear of the deadly virus. Yet, it took two more years for the gruesome details of this murder to come to light. The body was never recovered, but the brutal torture endured by the healer was eventually exposed—ironically, by his very killers, right in front of the Secretariat! From Nilambur to Mysuru, from Wayanad to Thiruvananthapuram, this crime unfolded like the plot of a Hollywood thriller, filled with shocking twists and turns. Today’s special Crime Beat podcast unravels the chilling case of the Shaba Sharif murder.
