The new Hindi series Raakh opens with a disclaimer: it's 'fiction inspired from real-life events'. The nuts and bolts of the plot are evidently drawn from the Geeta and Sanjay Chopra murder in Delhi in 1978, for which two men named Billa and Ranga were hanged. The children here are Suman and Sahil Arora, and the killers, Babu and Rajjo.
But the starting block is unchanged: adolescent siblings, a naval officer's only kids, heading to a radio recording, get a lift from a car and meet their end in Delhi Ridge in 1978.
