Welcome back to CrimePod Castle, where we unravel the dark and forgotten cases of the past. In Episode 2 of our series Ghosts of the Past, host Amitesh Surwar dives into the sensational and haunting Shivani Bhatnagar murder case—a chilling story of betrayal, power, and the ultimate misuse of authority.

In 1999, Shivani, a fearless journalist, was brutally murdered in her Delhi home. What followed was a years-long investigation that exposed a high-ranking IPS officer, Ravi Kant Sharma, as the mastermind behind the crime. This episode uncovers:

• The dangerous intersection of power, ambition, and manipulation in Shivani’s life.
• The meticulously planned murder plot and the chilling details of her final moments.
• The investigation and legal battle that brought Sharma and his accomplices to justice.
• The legacy of Shivani’s courage and the broader implications for journalists navigating corridors of power.

This is more than a murder case; it’s a sobering reminder of the risks faced by those who seek the truth and the price of unchecked authority.
