‘Dupatta Killer’ – DocuBay Revisits Goa’s Chilling Serial Killer Case

‘Dupatta Killer’ : DocuBay, the leading platform for premium documentaries, part of IN10  Media Network, is set to premiere Dupatta Killer, a gripping true-crime documentary, on March  21, 2025. The documentary delves deep into the haunting story of Mahanand Naik, Goa’s most  infamous serial killer, who was accused of murdering 16 women but convicted for only one. His  method of killing—luring his victims with false promises of marriage and then strangling them  with their own dupattas—shocked the nation and left a lasting impact on the region.

Dupatta Killer is more than just a recounting of past crimes; it is an exploration of the dark  psychology of a killer and a critical examination of the systemic failures that allowed him to  evade justice for years. Through survivor testimonies, expert insights, and an in-depth look into  the police investigations, the documentary sheds light on how Naik preyed on women, exploiting  their vulnerabilities, often from underprivileged backgrounds, and manipulating societal  pressures surrounding marriage.

Aditya Pittie, Managing Director of IN10 Media Network, said, "At DocuBay, we are  committed to presenting stories that not only inform but also provoke thought and inspire  change. Dupatta Killer is a powerful reminder of the pressing issues within our justice system  and the long-lasting effects of crime on society. This documentary is a must-watch for those who  believe in the importance of accountability and reform."

Samar Khan, Producer and CEO of Juggernaut Productions, shared “At Juggernaut  Productions, we focus on backing storytelling that carries power, purpose, and a strong societal  viewpoint. While fictional stories are increasingly popular, we recognize that non-fiction  narratives, particularly documentaries, have a unique ability to make a meaningful social impact.  This documentary is a prime example—it's a story that needs to be told to raise awareness and  inspire change in a way that is both necessary and long overdue."

In a statement, Director Patrick Graham said “Directing this documentary was a tough  challenge, as it meant dealing with sensitive issues and finding a way to tell a complex story with  care. While the story has been told before, we aimed to give it a new perspective, going beyond  the crime to look at the systemic failures that made it possible. The difficulty wasn’t just in  retelling the events, but in balancing respect for the victims with the harsh truths that needed to  be shared. This film offers a perspective that has been missing, giving the story the depth and  attention, it deserves.”
