Madhya Pradesh:
An alleged serial killer in Madhya Pradesh who allegedly murdered four security guards while they were sleeping has been caught on CCTV assaulting one of his victims. The man, identified as 19-year-old Shiv Prasad, was inspired by the KGF blockbuster and wanted to be famous, sources said.
He was arrested early Friday morning in Bhopal after police tracked down a mobile phone he allegedly stole from one of his murder victims.

The macabre security footage shows the killer, wearing shorts and a shirt, attacking his victim and then hitting his head with a rock. After making sure no one saw him, he sped away.
According to police officer Tarun Nayak, the young man, who only attacked in the dead of night, was inspired by KGF – a Kannada film about an assassin – according to police officer Tarun Nayak. He allegedly told police that he intended to target the policeman next.
Police said Shiv Prasad killed three security guards during three nights in Sagar and another in Bhopal last night. Since his only goal is fame, he only targets the sleeping security agents.
The murders, which seemed to follow a pattern, aroused the fear of a “stone man” who only attacked late at night.
In May, a watchman at an overpass construction site was found murdered and a shoe was kept on his bruised face.
None of the victims were looted.
Interior Minister Narottam Mishra said: “It was a blind murder.
On Thursday night, he killed a man named Sonu Verma, 23, using a marble stick. Sonu Verma used to be a security guard at a marble store.
Police said Shiv Prasad’s murder began in Sagar, 169 km from Bhopal.
Kalyan Lodhi, a security guard at a factory, was killed on August 28. His head was hit with a hammer.
The very next night, a 60-year-old security guard at the college of arts and commerce, Shambhu Narayan Dube, was killed with a stone.
The next day, the man killed Mangal Ahirwar, a watchman at a house.
The murders caused terror in the town and patrols were increased. CCTV cameras show a man, believed to be the killer, running.
