30 parts Complete MatureInspired by true events, but let me make this clear-this is NOT a documentary.
The Sacrificed: Volume 01 is a highly fictionalized version of the Santosh Deshmukh Hatyakaand, a case that still remains under investigation. While I took inspiration from real-life events, this story is built on my interpretations, hypotheses, imaginations, and storytelling instincts. This is my version-not a retelling of actual events.
This volume follows the rise and fall of Sarpanch Vikram Shetty, set in Kadampur village, district Vardhanpur. His story begins and ends right here, in Volume 01. There are no sequels, no continuations-just this one standalone tale.
Every volume in The Sacrificed explores completely different stories, inspired by true events but with no interconnections between them. You can read each one as a separate standalone novel.
I do not claim to tell what really happened. I do not claim this as fact. My job is simply to narrate a story-through my own lens, based on my own perceptions and creative exploration.
And most importantly, I want to say this upfront: I do not intend to insult or demean anyone. If anything comes across that way, I sincerely apologize, but that was never my intention.
At the end of the day, I'm just a storyteller.
And this? This is my story to tell.
