Move over ‘Asur’ & ‘Paatal Lok’, there’s a new psychotic ‘Killer’ in town

 The Killer: The latest story by Kahanikaar Sudhanshu Rai has even Detective Boomrah in a tizzy

Nainaṃ chindanti śastrāṇi nainaṃ dahati pāvakaḥ, na chainaṃ kledayantyāpo na śoṣayati mārutaḥ – it means ‘no weapon can cut a soul, nor can a soul be burned by fire, nor moistened with water and nor can it be withered by the wind’. This shloka from the Bhagavad Geeta depicts the psychosis of the protagonist of Kahanikaar Sudhanshu Rai’s latest Hindi thriller short story ‘The Killer’. This story is about a man who is on a killing spree, construing the aforementioned holy verse as a justification of his deeds.

Set in the ancient city of Varanasi in the season of monsoon, the story begins with Detective Boomrah struggling to find clues about a serial killer who leaves no trace of his crime. There are no signs of assault on victims’ bodies or of the killer’s entry/exit at the site of any incident. The only thing common among all the victims are wide open eyes, suggesting that they were startled before breathing their last. And before committing each murder, the killer gives away a riddle based on mythological verses, which carries a clue about the victim. However, both Boomrah as well as the cops fail to decipher the message in those riddles.

But thanks to Boomrah’s knack of convincing people, he manages to get the location where the suspect resides – a cottage in the middle of a lake.
