Now, `Shaitaan` focuses on women criminal minds

New Delhi: “Shaitaan - A Criminal Mind” has come with a special series on ‘Women Criminals’. The series will focus on the not so often seen or heard, cold, calculative women criminal masterminds.

The show is hosted by actor Sharad Khelkar for an entertainment channel. He said his association with the show has made him extra alert about different verticals in his life. “Considering the increasing rate in crime, where there is no demarcation between male or female, it’s our prime duty to keep our alert button on,” Sharad said in a statement. "Shooting for this series was thrilling as well as shocking to know that the rise in women criminals is a new trend compared to several years ago when women took a more passive role in crime,” he added. The first episode will show the journey of a girl who was a victim of physical abuse. Because of the trauma she ended up having complete distrust and hatred towards men and took revenge from as many as she could. Another episode will show how a spoiled daughter kills her father who decided to disown her. Nikhil Alva, CEO Miditech, said: “`Shaitaan` is a show that delves into the minds of the worst criminals the society has seen. Be it a man or a woman, when the mind takes its own turn all controls fail! This weekend and the next we are coming up with two shocking real life instances that involve the frightening criminal attempts by women.” “To help create some much needed awareness amongst its viewers we will soon be telecasting it in our upcoming special episodes this weekend,” he added. The episodes will air June 2 and June 8 at 10 p.m. IANS
