A sensational incident of murder has come to light from Samastipur, Bihar, which you will also be surprised to hear. According to the police, a son conspired to kill his own father inspired by the film ‘Drishyam’. He took a train from Surat in Gujarat, about 2000 km away, to his village and killed his father sleeping at the door of the house with an axe. After committing the crime, the accused returned to Surat in the darkness of the night. He thought that like in the film, the police would not find any clue, but a small mistake of turning on the mobile phone exposed his entire conspiracy.
Killed by axe attack
The incident took place in Darwa village under Halai police station area of Samastipur. Late on the night of July 26, Raghuveer Sahni was sleeping at the door of his house. During this time, he was attacked with an axe and killed. The accused hit him several times on the head with an axe kept in the house and after the incident, he left the weapon in the house and fled. As soon as the incident was reported, the police reached the spot. The body was sent for post-mortem and the FSL team also examined the spot closely. During the investigation, the police suspected that the murder was not committed by an outsider, but by someone close to the family.
There was a dispute over land
After this, an investigation was started into the activities of the family and close ones of the deceased. During the technical investigation, the needle of suspicion of the police went to the deceased’s son Shiv Shankar. According to the police, Shiv Shankar had a dispute with his father over the sale of land. The father allegedly abused the son and daughter-in-law. Due to this dispute, Shiv Shankar started living in Surat with his wife.

Murder after watching the movie Drishyam
The police claim that while living in Surat, Shiv Shankar watched the film ‘Drishyam’ and was influenced by it and planned to kill his father. To carry out the conspiracy, he switched off his mobile phone so that his location could not be found by the police. According to the police, Shiv Shankar reached Patna first by train from Surat. After this, he took an auto from Hajipur and reached Patori station. From there, he went to Jorpura via auto and then walked about four kilometers to reach his home at around 12 o’clock in the night. It was reported that the accused entered the house through the back door. After this, he took out an axe from the room and attacked his father Raghuveer Sahni, who was sleeping outside the house. He died after being hit multiple times on the head.
Accused caught for minor mistake
After the incident, the accused left for Patori station the same night. But here there was a big mistake in his film planning. The accused, who kept the mobile switched off to dodge the police, turned on his mobile phone as soon as he reached Patori station. He spoke to his wife on the phone and switched off the mobile phone after the conversation. This brief mobile connection became the biggest clue for the police. In the technical investigation, the location of the mobile was found at Patori station on the night of the murder. About 36 hours later, the same mobile was found active in Surat. The police started scrutinising the conversation and call details that took place while the mobile was on at Patori station. As the investigation progressed, the police reached the accused.
Police arrested him from Surat
On the basis of technical evidence, Shiv Shankar was arrested from Surat. According to the police, during interrogation, the accused confessed that he had watched the film Drishyam before the murder. Police said that after the murder of his father, the accused did not even attend his funeral, which deepened the suspicion on him. That is, inspired by the film story by which the accused conspired to dodge the police, in the same conspiracy, the mobile phone revealed the biggest secret. According to the police, switching on the mobile for some time proved to be the biggest mistake of the accused and the alleged conspiracy of the murder was revealed by reaching Samastipur from Surat, about 2000 km away.
