Many gripping true crime stories have been presented every Sunday morning since July by the Kolkata Police on their Facebook page. True-crime aficionados are hooked.
The department accepted the request of followers of the FB page to provide information about old and sensational cases and decided to present them as stories. It titled the series ‘Rahasya Robibar’ (Sunday Mystery) and the first story was about a 1994 murder.
With every Sunday, the readership increased. The fifth story, homemaker Debjani Banik’s murder case of 1983, published on August 27, was shared more than 700 times. The next, on the 1933 incident, was shared more than 1,200 times and attracted more than 800 comments.

May be other state police departments replicate this.
