Fiction feeds tragedy: 'Drishyam' plot inspired real-life crime in Surat

A young mother in Surat, Gujarat, committed a murder and then tried to evade arrest by following the plot of the blockbuster crime thriller 'Drishyam'. However, the Surat Police cracked the case and arrested 22-year-old Nayna Mandavi for the murder of her two-year-old son, Veer Mandavi. This case came to light in July 2023 when Nayna, a labourer at a construction site in Dindoli in Surat, filed a kidnapping report at the local police station on June 27.
