Indian Predator Season 3 Trailer is now available. On Friday, Netflix dropped the trailer for its final episode in the true crime docuseries, ahead of its October 28 release. Titled “Murder In A Courtroom”, the upcoming season delves into the story of Bharat Kalicharan aka Akku Yadav, the serial rapist and gangster, who terrorized the slums of Kasturba Nagar, Nagpur, for almost 13 years. The Murder In A Courtroom trailer comes about two weeks after Netflix confirmed that Indian Predator was renewed for season 3, via its social media handles, with the quote: “A serial killer murdered by his victims, was revenge or remission? Umesh Vinayak Kulkarni, best known for the shorts Girni and Three of Us, is directing the docuseries.
The Indian Predator: Season 3 trailer opens with a group of frustrated women who band together after arming themselves with knives and packets of chili powder. “Aku Yadav, a local criminal was stabbed and stoned to death today,” an unseen reporter said in a voiceover. This information and the title, “Murder in a Courtroom”, is contextual enough to understand what true crime story we are dealing with here. On August 13, 2004, serial rapist Aku Yadav was lynched by several women in the courtroom where he was being tried for the heinous crimes he had committed. “The law wasn’t doing anything, so we had to act,” one of the residents said in archived interview footage.
It then cuts to show real-life accounts of slum dwellers. “He was fair-skinned. With a pointy nose,” the women describe him. “He was full of bravado. He would get up and say, ‘Hey, what are you doing?’ Indian Predator season 3 tackles the inefficient justice system and the cops who allegedly took bribes and sided with Yadav, throughout his crime spree. At the time, all of the women involved claimed responsibility for the murder and, although some were arrested, they were ultimately acquitted.
The Indian Predator season 3 trailer ends by questioning the morality of the women involved. “Are women capable of killing? Can hands that cut vegetables kill people? says an unseen narrator, as we are treated to footage of an army of furious women bursting into the courtroom, brandishing rusty knives and sickles.
Murder in a Courtroom is the sequel to Diary of a Serial Killer, released last month, which focused on the cannibalistic murderer, Raja Kolander. This in itself was a follow-up to Indian Predator: The Butcher of Delhi, released in July on Netflix, and centered on the crimes of Chandrakant Jha.
Indian Predator season 3, Murder In a Courtroom, will be released on October 28 on Netflix.
