Creation

The making of such a delicate yet horror case needed minute detailing of reality, hence the process was long and descriptive. The research process took a bunch of 22,000 pages on the case to be read and more than 57 people across the nation were interviewed including the key personnel's and people living near her Mysore peripheries, to not miss even a slightest clue while unraveling Shakereh's case. The narrative hence goes beyond the proves and digs much deeper into the known facts of the mystery murder case that shook away the nation almost 30 years ago.
