Karnataka Police Uncover 5-Year-Old 'Drishyam'-Style Murder While Investigating Woman's Death
Bengaluru, June 2025:
In a chilling real-life crime saga reminiscent of the Bollywood thriller Drishyam, Karnataka Police have unearthed a 5-year-old murder cover-up during a seemingly unrelated investigation into a woman's recent death. The discovery has shocked even seasoned investigators with the depth of planning and cinematic parallels used to conceal the original crime.
How a New Murder Unraveled an Old One
The probe began with the suspicious death of a 32-year-old woman in rural Karnataka. As investigators dug deeper into her background and household dynamics, inconsistencies in family statements and missing person reports from five years ago emerged—prompting officers to revisit cold leads.
The deeper police probed, the clearer it became: this wasn’t an isolated incident, but part of a larger, well-orchestrated deception inspired by the film Drishyam—a movie where a murder is covered up through elaborate planning.
The ‘Drishyam’ Connection
The accused had allegedly:
Disposed of the victim's body in a concealed manner.
Created false alibis, altered digital footprints, and maintained fabricated records.
Misled local authorities during the original disappearance with a carefully scripted version of events.
These strategies kept the crime under wraps for half a decade—until the recent investigation began to unravel the truth.
“It’s one of the most sophisticated concealment attempts we’ve seen—clearly influenced by cinematic storytelling,” said a senior Karnataka Police official.
Justice, Five Years Later
With new evidence and confessions emerging, police have now arrested the key suspects. Forensic experts are conducting further analysis to recover what’s left of the original crime scene.
Officials emphasized how real-life crimes, no matter how cleverly disguised, ultimately leave traces, and technology combined with perseverance can expose the truth—even years later.
