The year was 2010. Police found a dead body from Garnala on the highway side of Maharashtra's Amravati district. That person had no clothes on his body. Two months later, the Nashik police found the body on the highway, naked. Later, during eight years, similar bodies were being found from states like Maharashtra, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh. No one had an idea that a terrible psycho mastermind was working behind all these murders. But in the year 2018, an incident took place in Bhopal which lifted the curtain from the sensational serial killing incidents of the country. *** The day was 15th August-2018. While the entire country was busy celebrating Independence Day, police in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, found a naked body under a bridge near the Jagaria Pathar road. The police got the name-address of that person based on the photo. The deceased was 25-year-old truck driver Makhan Singh, a resident of Aubedullaganj. After that, the police searched the truck and found it in an abandoned condition in Ayodhya town. Meanwhile, another truck disappeared from Bhopal along with its driver. Well, this truck itself became the neck filter of the criminal. The thing was that the owner of this truck, Manoj Sharma, had registered the number of the truck at all the toll booths. Due to this, as soon as Manoj Sharma's truck passed through any toll plaza, a message would be received on his mobile phone. The truck was supposed to come to Bhopal but the kidnappers took it to Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh. Manoj Sharma was surprised to receive a message from Kanpur toll house. The driver's mobile was switched off so he informed the police. Uttar Pradesh and Bhopal police got active on getting the news and nabbed a man named Jayakaran along with his accomplice who was fleeing with the truck. The entire case was handed over to the Bhopal police. The police paid for it. That truth began to sink in, 'Sir, don't kill me. We are just pawns. The real culprit is the command!' A team was then formed to take command and S.P., a black belt in taekwondo and Asian Games bronze medalist in judo. Bittu Sharma was assigned this task. On 7th September-2018, his team captured Adesh Khamara. Even the police did not know that today a terrible serial killer of India has come into their hands. ' From the language, body language, distorted laughter of Adesh Khamara, he seemed to be a psycho. Experienced S.P. Sharma treated the accused cunningly. He asked casually. Adesh stuffed the tobacco into a bag and started speaking, 'Madam, I love blood, I get a lot of pleasure when someone's throat is cut. Although I was a normal and civilized tailor to the people who came to my small shop to make clothes, I was more interested in shrouding others than in dressing them. While I was sleeping at night, I had a thirst to kill people, but I didn't know who to kill. Finally one time my mind told me, you should kill truck drivers and cleaners. So, in 2010 I started as a truck driver on the Amaravati highway in Maharashtra. He took a lift to him and beat him and stripped him of his clothes. After that, everywhere in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, I started killing truck drivers and cleaners and after throwing the dead bodies, I started selling the same trucks in thief markets in different places.' Hearing the command, the ground slipped under his feet, but the real thing still remained that the ground had slipped. The police asked, 'How many truck drivers and cleaners have you killed so far, do you remember? Five or seven?' 'No less ma'am more. And remember a single person's face. He also remembers the date on which he was killed and what clothes he was wearing. I have killed a total of 33 truck drivers and cleaners till date.' With this sentence, the police officers went on a rampage. They were now realizing that what was sitting in front of them was one of the worst serial killers of the country like Raman Raghav who killed 42 people, Surendra Koli of Nithari Kand and Stone Man of Kolkata. He gave information about thirty-three murders over and over again. The Bhopal Commissioner was immediately informed and other states were contacted. Finally, the body was found at that place on the date and the date of the murders mentioned in the order. In the eyes of the people and the family, the tailor who sewed the clothes was just an ordinary tailor. Originally from Pakistan. However, years ago a criminal from his community named Ashok Khamara was arrested in connection with 100 serial killings and escaped after eluding the police. Ashoka is still unknown but the order of 33 murders is said to have been inspired by him. When the news of the serial killing of 33 truck drivers and cleaners by a general tailor of Bhopal hit the media the next day, the whole country was shocked. Even today this terrible case is considered as one of the worst serial killings in the country.
