31 Pieces of a Dead body
Today in Crime Story, the story of those two murders is presented, whose fabric was woven around two dead bodies, 31 pieces, 31 bullets and 31 graves. Such a conspiracy, trying to get to the bottom of it, even the police themselves got fooled once. This is the truth and not a story of any Mumbai movie. It has often been heard in the world of Jarayam that blood is avenged with blood. No one has ever heard that, instead of 31 pieces of a dead body, 31 bullets and 31 graves have been woven by a murderer. Let's talk about the story of two such murders in Crime Story today, whose fabric was woven around two dead bodies, 31 pieces, 31 bullets and 31 graves. Such a conspiracy, trying to get to the bottom of it, even the police themselves got fooled once. This is not a fabricated script written for the silver screen of a Mumbai film. This is true. This is also true of the Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh, located a few miles away from Delhi, the capital of India. Actually, this story presented in the story of crime begins with the enmity between the two parties. Some time ago, a doctor was gunned down and killed in the area. When the police got involved in the investigation, the enmity of Dr. Shabad (who was murdered) with anyone was not known far and wide. During the postmortem, the police came to know that 31 bullets were fired into Dr. Shadab's body. The police teams got stuck just after coming here. Yaksha question in front of the police The question in front of the police teams involved in the investigation was that when a person can be killed in just 1-2 bullets, then what would have been the main motive behind firing 31 bullets into Dr. Shadab's body? It was a question of 100 taka. The question was more complicated than it was useful. Yes, the police explored many directions of investigation with this question emerging in their mind. For example, by firing so many bullets into a person's body, someone kills only by ranting. Otherwise murder can be done even with one or two bullets. The police's own argument was countered by the statements of the family members of the murdered doctor Shadab. Because the family members said that Dr. Shadab Sharif was a man of manners. He ever removed the matter of enmity with anyone. Tu-tu-me-me didn't even happen. Came back from where she left Therefore, in the face of this argument of the family members of Dr. Shadab, the police engaged in the investigation again came to their own question and stood empty-handed at the same place from where they started taking steps to take the investigation forward. However, after many days of hard work, whatever the police got. Seeing all of them together, one thing was clear that, may or may not the family members deny Dr. Shadab's enmity with anyone, but there is an angle of "enmity" in this incident of murder. It is hidden. It was the responsibility of the police to find him out and reach the murderers. It is said that the criminal 'passes' everywhere, but at one place where he loses, the 'victory' of the police or any investigating agency is written at the same place. Exactly the same happened in the revelation of Dr. Shadab murder case of Bulandshahr. Police's hundred taka question If Dr. Shadab had no enmity with anyone, then why did a murderer put 31 bullets in his body? Bulandshahr police reached Hapur while struggling with this self-generated question. Closer to the story of the murder incident or corpse in Hapur, which was executed on March 18 this year in Hafizpur area of Hapur. When the police traced the horoscope of the murder that took place in Hajipur area of Hapur, its wires started connecting with the Dr. Shadab murder case, which was several kilometers away in Bulandshahr. It was learned that the body of the person named Irfan, who was murdered in Hapur on March 18 this year, was also cut into 31 pieces. For those 31 pieces, the killers arranged 31 graves (pits) at different places, and those 31 pieces were buried. when link after link When the Bulandshahr police reached between Dr. Shadab's murder case and Irfan Khan's murder in Hapur, they got many more such information which linked the story of crime. It was learned that on March 18, Irfan Khan was murdered in Hapur by Ragib, brother of Dr. Shadab, who was killed by 31 bullets in Bulandshahr, along with his friends. Irfan's dead body was also cut into 31 pieces by the murderers. Those pieces were buried by the killers by digging 31 pits (graves) at different places. The Bulandshahr police reached the tip of the iceberg of the Shabad murder case that took place in their area as soon as the link between 31 bullets and 31 pieces of a dead body was connected. The apprehension of the police turned out to be correct The Bulandshahr police, engaged in the investigation of the Dr. Shadab murder case, came to know that the four people who were nominated by the family members of Dr. Shadab were all brothers of Irfan, who was murdered in Hapur on March 18 this year. The same Irfan in whose murder The names of Dr. Shadab's brother and his friends were coming up. The police linked 31 graves, 31 pieces of a dead body and 31 bullets in a person's body. Even after this, but all the murderers have not been arrested. The Bulandshahr Police is still laying its net in the National Capital Region for arrests.

Compulsion (1959)
Compulsion is a 1959 noir thriller based very faithfully on the infamous murders perpetrated by Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, two sons of vast privilege living in Chicago in 1924, who were as obsessed with Nietzsche as they were each other; both of them were prodigies and Nathan Leopold was in grad school before the age of 21. They gleaned their sense of superiority from reading Nietzsche's idea of the "Ubermensch" or "Superman," who was "beyond good and evil," and who doesn't have to play by the conventional dictates of a morally-ordered world. The Superman, being far advanced over the "brainless, vociferating herd" (as Ragnar Redbeard called them). This is the Darwinian inversion of traditional Christian ideals, so that instead of "turning the other cheek," Superman becomes unfeeling, coldly calculating exploiter of "lower beings," who can use and cast aside whoever and whatever he wishes, to cross the abyss of Nothingness, and realize, on the other side of that, his True Destiny. Even if that end is destruction in the name of the "transvaluation of all values." Amor fati, Nietzsche would say. Or, "Love your fate."
