Crimes From The East

Hokandara Horror

Was it because they were desensitized to crime or simply in shock? Listen about the first case in Sri Lanka where DNA evidence was used in court!

Skeleton Lake - Roopkund

Up in the foothills of the Himalayan range, cradled between snowy slopes is a little lake called Roopkund. Not much larger than a frog pond, Lake Roopkund is actually a vault of secrets because in 1942 a forest ranger discovered a whole bunch of Skeletons in & around the water!
