[RECAST EPISODE] This episode was uploaded last year, but in light of the recent documentary, we are releasing it as an extra episode that sheds light on the aspects of the case that the documentary did not.

Justice delayed is justice denied. This is a phrase embedded within the very being of every judicial system in the world. Or, at least it should be. Yet the essence of this phrase is sometimes hard to live by. Sometimes comes before us a case so shocking yet so convoluted that not years but decades pass by without a shred of justice. Such is the case of a 21 year old nun from Kerala. A woman whose brutal death in 1992 remained unsolved till December of 2020. This is the story of Sister Abhaya. Buy Our Crazy Desi Merch: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studiosFor extra episodes, bloopers, early access etc, join the Desi Family at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios or join our YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/joinFor updates, bts, case summaries, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/Aryaanhttps://www.instagram.com/aryaanmisra/Aishwaryahttps://www.instagram.com/aishwaryasinghs/

Home is supposed to be your safe haven; your bed, the thing you crave coming back to at the end of a long day. Your parents, the people you’d take or fire a bullet for. Between the four walls of a home and around the people you love, exists most of your life. That was all true for 13 year old Aarushi. Little did she know, though, on the night of 15th May, in that very home, those very people were about to conspire to commit murder…her murder. And they were going to succeed, making sure she never saw the light of another day. This is the story of what really went down inside house L-32 in Sector 25, Noida on the night of 15th May 2008. This is the story of Aarushi Talwar. For extra episodes, early access, silly bloopers, subscribe at: https://www.patreon.com/thedesistudios or join our YouTube family https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnbfV0YvrxWMq3h0hmo13Jg/joinTo buy Desi Studios merch, visit: https://kadakmerch.com/collections/desi-studiosFor fastest updates, follow our socials at: https://www.instagram.com/desicrime/Want our content in video formats instead?
