Mumbai, March 12 (NationPress) A new documentary titled Dupatta Killer has been unveiled, diving into the chilling narrative of Mahanand Naik, the most notorious serial killer of Goa. Recently, a teaser was shared, providing a glimpse into this haunting exploration of Naik, who is charged with the murders of 16 women, yet convicted for only one.
Aditya Pittie, the Managing Director of IN10 Media Network, stated, “At DocuBay, we are committed to presenting stories that not only inform but also provoke thought and inspire change. Dupatta Killer serves as a powerful reminder of the pressing issues within our justice system and the profound impact of crime on society. It is crucial viewing for anyone who champions accountability and reform.”
Director Patrick Graham remarked, “Creating this documentary has been a captivating, at times shocking and heartbreaking, yet rewarding journey. When dealing with real-life narratives, it is essential to me to strike a balance between narrating the story engagingly and respecting those affected.”
“I aimed to ensure we do not overlook the horrors that transpired while avoiding an exploitative approach. There must be a valid reason for sharing these stories beyond entertainment, and we aimed to provide a new perspective that examines the systemic failures that allowed such atrocities and how the victims were easily targeted. I hope this film delivers a comprehensive overview of the Mahanand Naik case and prompts crucial discussions that arise from it,” Patrick added.
Dupatta Killer investigates the essential question of what justice signifies for victims, particularly as Naik's possible release after 15 years ignites a broader dialogue about rehabilitation, accountability, and whether a serial killer can genuinely change.
