Ram Saroop alias Sodhi, a serial killer accused of killing eleven men in Punjab, revealed to the police that deep emotional trauma triggered by derogatory remarks about his sexuality was the driving force behind the murders.
Ram Saroop, who allegedly targeted men on Punjab's highways, told the police that he couldn't come to terms with sexual slurs and innuendos about his sexuality and reacted to such acts violently. His deep emotional distress due to people's reactions to his sexuality pushed him into killing 11 men over 18 months, reported India Today.
Sodhi used to dress as a woman to lure his victims, reported the channel, adding that he would target men who insulted him or refused to pay for his sexual services.
The serial killer allegedly told the police that his last victim, 37-year-old Maninder Singh, had mocked his sexuality and made disparaging remarks about his body. The victim had given a lift to him on his motorcycle.
The victim's body was found near Kiratpur Sahib. The police found Sodhi's muffler which eventually led to his arrest.
