Episode 14: Chandrika Murder Case

In June 2024, the quiet village of Dantiya in Gujarat woke up to a tragedy that would soon make national headlines.Eighteen-year-old Chandrika Chaudhary, a bright NEET aspirant with dreams of becoming a nurse, was found hanging in her family courtyard—just days after scoring high marks in her exam. At first, it looked like a suicide. But as the investigation unfolded, disturbing details began to surface—about family control, social honour, and a young woman’s fight for independence. This isn’t just the story of a crime. It’s the story of a girl who dared to dream beyond the limits set for her, and the system that failed to protect her. Hosted by Sonam and ShilpiMusic by Josh Chowdhuri #TrueCrime #IndianTrueCrime #GujaratCrime #ChandrikaChaudhary #HonourKilling#WomenInIndia #CrimePodcast #TrueCrimeCommunity #SouthAsiaTrueCrime#DarkHistory #CrimeAndJustice #Banaskantha #CrimeStoriesIndia #PodcastIndia#ViciousTales Disclaimer: This podcast discusses true crimes and real events.
