The Brain Eater
Raja was suspected of the murder of a journalist Dhirendra Singh who worked with Hindi Daily 'Aaj'. Singh's body was cut into several pieces and thrown into a river and a jungle. While the investigation of this case went on, it was found that Singh wasn't the only one who fell prey to Kalandar. During Raja Kalandar's conviction in the court, he admitted to practising cannibalism and having buried 14 skulls in his house. He used to eat certain parts of his victim's bodies, such as their brains.
Diving deep into the investigation, it was found that Kalandar's motive to kill people was taking revenge and increase his mental power by doing so. He even used to talk to those skulls and play with them.
