[Asia Economy Kim Bong-ju, Intern Reporter] It has been revealed that a doctor in his 60s from India was involved in a serial murder case where he killed more than 50 taxi drivers and sold their taxis.

According to CNN on the 31st, Divender Sharma (62), a serial killer in India who escaped during a brief parole while imprisoned and was recently recaptured, confessed to the police that he was involved in the murders of more than 50 taxi drivers in the past.

Initially sentenced to life imprisonment for killing seven taxi drivers between 2002 and 2004, Sharma served 16 years in prison and was granted a 20-day parole, but he had actually committed many more murders.

After being paroled, Sharma did not return to prison and instead married another woman in Delhi, India, where he hid for six months before being caught by the police.

After being arrested this time, he fully confessed to the police about the entire process of becoming a murderer from an elite doctor.

Holding a degree in traditional Indian medicine, he graduated from university and ran a hospital in Rajasthan, northern India, for 11 years starting in 1984, living well, but after losing money to fraud, he began to follow a darker path.

At first, he sold fake gas stoves, then moved to the more lucrative illegal kidney transplant business, and was caught by the police in 2004.

Sharma stated that he was involved in 125 kidney transplants, earning between $6,680 and $9,350 (8 million to 11.14 million KRW) per case.

He also revealed that in Uttar Pradesh, northern India, he killed taxi drivers after taking their taxis at planned locations and sold the taxis for $270 (320,000 KRW) each.
