Netflix has released Inspector Zende, a new film on the Indian policeman who twice caught French serial killer Charles Sobhraj. Bollywood actor Manoj Bajpayee plays Inspector Madhukar Zende, while Jim Sarbh portrays Sobhraj, renamed Carl Bhojraj in the movie. The story focuses on Sobhraj’s 1986 escape from Delhi’s Tihar jail and his arrest in Mumbai after a tense chase. Zende, who also nabbed him in 1971, appears in a cameo. Known as “The Serpent” and “Bikini Killer,” Sobhraj was linked to more than 20 murders across Asia. The film has revived interest in Zende’s career as a supercop. (PC: BBC)
