Shakereh Khaleeli was 'rich and beautiful'. She was drugged, packed in a wooden casket and buried alive.
The first two episodes of the four-part series delve into Shakereh's life.
In press clippings from the time, Shraddhananda was described as a school dropout from a poor family, a "fake holy man" and an "errand boy" who endeared himself to Shakereh by "helping resolve some property matters" for her and "exploiting her desire to have a son by claiming magical powers". "I think it's very important that we hear his side of the story, more so because we never heard from him in the past 30 years. Moreover, he gave us invaluable insights into Shakereh's character," he told the BBC.

Evolutionary dynamics of dengue virus in IndiaAuthor summary Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease with four closely related serotypes of the virus (DENV-1-4). Further, cross-reacting dengue antibodies from a previous infecting dengue serotype can protect or enhance infection from other serotypes. This can force the emergence of new dengue variants that find ways to escape the immune action or take advantage of it. In endemic countries like India, high rates of previous dengue infection can drive the evolution of dengue serotypes in complex ways. We compare all published dengue virus sequences to understand how new variants of dengue are emerging in India. Dengue cases and corresponding viruses display triennial surges. Further, the dengue envelope protein for each serotype shows recurring divergence and reversal towards its ancestral strain over a three-year window. Such fluctuations are also correlated among the dengue serotypes in India and could arise from the changing levels of cross-reactive antibodies. This, combined with the regional exchange of the virus among Asia-Pacific countries, has led to the emergence of India-specific DENV lineages, including a new DENV-4 (Id) variant. This has also contributed to significant variations in the epitope regions of the current dengue viruses in India compared to the vaccines with implications for their efficacy.
