I'm giving less ratings because of nasty dirty abusive language in Hindi language. The producers must know that Indians don't practice abusive dirty language or words that they have used here. Proper censorship is required. The production was excellent otherwise. The only social factor was missing on why do the police and court always ignore such poor communities in India, and take side with the criminals. There must be some specific explanations behind it. The reasons behind the community had to take justice in their own hands was communicated very well. Their action was fully divine justice. The government should have apologised to the community and compensated them financially along with sentencing the accomplices of Akku who were equally involved in rapes. It wasn't shown as to whether they were also caught by police.

Indian Predator: Murder in a Courtroom Akku Yadav, an animal like a criminal who was a rapist, a killer, a murderer, a thief, a dacoit, was killed by several women in the courtroom on the day when he was to be presented to court. He had caused so much pain in that area of Kasturba Nagar, Nagpur. People did their level best to get justice, but it was useless. Finally, people decide to take justice forcefully. And they kill them and they're very happy with that. All of them were acquitted. What else could be the solution to it, people did what was supposed to be done. And that's not wrong, people have the right to get justice if they're not getting it the right way. It had never been easy for them to tolerate him.

Bravo to the community for taking justice in their own hands and for showing that they won't tolerate injustice beyond a certain point. The perfect example of snatching justice when the law enforcement agencies and officers and other responsible for it fail to deliver it. Best indian documentary I have ever watched. The anger and fear you will feel at the horrors committed by Aaku and his gang is nothing as compared to the satisfaction you will feel at the unity that the community displayed at the end and the fearlessness and the confidence of the women. I love the 'chaka jam' at the start of the series.

This three part documentary series tells the story of the killing of Akku Yadav. It is a very unusual case; for years he had terrorised the people of Kasturba Nagar, a slum area of the city of Nagpur with impunity. His crimes included murder, rape and extortion. Eventually he was arrested and during his bail hearing a large number of women forced their way into the court and killed him. The authorities seemed far keener to arrest these poor woman than they were to stop Yadav. The series starts with his death before telling us about his crimes; this takes the form of first person testimony from surviving victims. There are also statements from Yadav's friends who refuse to believe he could have committed the crimes he was accused of. I found this to be a really interesting documentary. When one first learns about a man being lynched in court it is hard not to think that nothing could justify such action but the more we learn about his crimes and the authorities' refusal to do anything about them one can't help be far more sympathetic to his victims than him. As well as shining a light on a specific case it also servers to highlight the treatment of the Dalit community, the so-called Untouchables, at the time. The format of interviews mixed with some re-enactments of key events is really effective. Overall I'd definitely recommend this to people interested in real crime stories or those interested in India and its people, particularly how those at the bottom of society are treated.

I would say, If their version of story is even half true then this past should haunt the indian justice and legal system ages to come. I know I got no right to comment on truthfullness of the series. It was a documentary where different put forward their own version of story. But, It was evident from the series how the justice failed not only one person but a whole village. That feeling of helplessness, pain , anger nobody deserves let alone the the innocent people of kasturba nagar and I pity the monster's(I know MONSTER right but some incident are so heinous that it sends a shiver through your body, tears through your eyes and fills into your heart) lawyer, his friends and that Journalist even with all your absurd theories you couldn't put forward any logical theory to justify his actions.

I've spent a lot of time in India and I've even been to Nagpur where this situation took place. I've always wondered what would happen if the Indian people stood together against their institutions because they have so many people and such a rigid socioeconomic hierarchy. The caste system has kept the poor of India in their place. They don't complain about social issues the way we do and they are the kindest people on the planet. The action taken by these women was brave and progressive and I hope they can replicate it elsewhere in the country. The documentary was well done but they should have used an English speaker to do some of the translation but I was able to follow what they were saying for the most part. Namaste.

Indian predator:murder in a courtroom is the third installment of the indian predator series directed by umesh vinayak kulkarni. And i have to say, this is my second liked of the three parts. This docu makes a very vivd commentary on caste oppression and injustice. The accused used to commit crimes specially against the dalit minority. This show villifies the accused also tries to show a balanced narrative which is good to see. It includes many interviews of different sets of people who give differing opinions on him. Also, it humanises the situation of the dalit women so brilliantly that it almost churns out your stomach out of disguest for the accused. I did not like the dubbing of several characters. They were speaking in marathi, should have kept them in marathi. It would have been more real. This is one hell of a documentary. Must watch!

True story of Kasturba village horror.. the level of crime shown in the show is unimaginable and extremely horrific.. Residents of the village had to not only face the atrocities of the antagonist but also that of Police, administration and media.. When they decide to enact, the so called media brand them as urban naxal.. however justice prevails better late than never.. this documentary is an eye opener to the society for understanding the life of underprivileged and how they are treated by the society.. Truly remarkable documentary.. Hats off to Netflix for bringing the facts on to the table.
