The Nepal Supreme Court Wednesday ordered the release of Charles Sobhraj, the part-Indian conman and serial killer who is serving murder sentences in Nepal and has also served time in India for poisoning French tourists.

The Nepal court has ordered Sobhraj’s release within 15 days and his immediate deportation to his home country, France. The 78-year-old had petitioned for early release on health grounds — poor heart condition and dental problems- and the French embassy had approached the Nepal government for this.
In his long criminal career, Sobhraj has been dubbed ‘the Bikini killer’ because some of his victims were found in bikinis, and ‘the serpent’ for his skill at slipping away from law enforcement authorities. Here is a look-back at Sobhraj’s crimes and his connections with India. Sobhraj was born in then-French-occupied Saigon, the son of an Indian businessman and a Vietnamese shop assistant. His parents were not married and his father never acknowledged paternity.
Serial killer
As Sobhraj travelled across the world, he began targeting “hippie” travellers – Western tourists backpacking through Asia. He would spike their drinks and kill them, often with women accomplices. Sobhraj has been accused of around 20 murders, though his motives have never been clear. At times, he stole the passports and used the identities of the people he had killed.
Journalists and law enforcement authorities who interacted with him found Sobhraj to be suave and charming, qualities which helped him commit his crimes, recruit accomplices, and also evade punishment. He was arrested several times in several countries, but fled or bribed his way out.
