Bengaluru: Hindi TV serial 'CID' inspires cook to kill PG owner, caught


Daijiworld Media Network - Bengaluru (SP)

Bengaluru, Dec 17: Shivashankar Mahato (29) from Bihar, who had fled after murdering the owner of a paying guest (PG) accommodation in the city, was nabbed by the personnel of Mico Layout police station in the city. Mahato, it transpires, had killed the owner of the PG for which he worked as cook, having been inspired by Hindi TV serial, 'CID'. Mahato told the police that he committed this murder with the aim of stealing lacs of rupees from the PG owner.

Shivashankar was working as cook for a PG situated in BTM Layout here. He killed owner of the PG, Tirupal Reddy (60), with a knife used for cutting vegetables and then escaped to Punjab, the police revealed, as he was eying two lac rupees in cash kept by Reddy in an almirah at the PG facility.

Mahato apparently guessed that having been from Bihar, the police would look for him in that state. Therefore, he chose to flee to Punjab instead. He reached Ludhiana and was searching for a job there as he planned to settle down there. The police, who were on his trail, succeeded in arresting him on the basis of information they could gather from various sources.

The police said that Shivashankar regularly watched Hindi TV serial, 'CID', without fail and closely observed methods used by murderers to keep investigators at bay. They added that during his questioning, Mahato confessed that he got inspiration from this TV programme for this murder as he thought he would not be caught because of fool proof methods employed by him to escape.

    Why to Ban the serials? There are so many good Serials and why people don’t follow those good characters?
    CID serials also gives a conclusion that whatever the smart the criminals but still they will be caught. May be this Cook did not watched the end of any serial. Poor owner who gave this criminal his Day to Day bread was killed.
    May his soul Rest In Peace.

    If we listen to people who want to ban the serial CID, we would one day become like North Korea. In fact these serials are good and really do not encourage crime since crime does not pay.

    I assume only producer and director have to be arrested for inspiring this murder. This is same parameters used for Zakir Naik's arrest warrant.

    Then there shoulf be ban on all serials. In most of the serials atleast a women try to do bossism in family and in the current time most of the womens watch those serials and try the samething in their fly which resulted in breaking of many relationships. Instead of ban why can't we understand those elserials are only for entertainment and not to implement in real life. We should educate ourself first.
