What happens

Indian Predator: The Butcher of Delhi is an Indian Netflix true crime docuseries which premiered on 20 July 2022. Produced by VICE India and directed by Ayesha Sood, The Butcher of Delhi explores both the police investigation and the motives of Chandrakant Jha, a serial killer who, in 2006–2007, left three decapitated victims outside the Tihar Jail accompanied by mocking notes. The first installment of a proposed Indian Predator series, The Butcher of Delhi received mixed reviews. Although some critics[who?] praised the mystery, pacing and departure from the whodunit format, others criticized its perceived cliché representation of Jha and overrepresentation of police accounts, lack of depth, poor flow and excessive exposition.
