Is Raikar Case a real story?

The Raikar Case revolves around the story of the Raikar family going through a deep tragedy of the passing of the family's youngest son, Tarun Raikar. The teaser for the series reveals that it is based on true events but it is important to know that the series uses only a few vague descriptions of the actual case.

The Raikar Case series is based in Goa and the real-life murder of Ratnakar Raikar also took place in Goa itself. The murder took place in 2012 due to motives revolving around greed and the show also follows a similar line but uses the Raikar name in order to bait audience members and serve them a story different than the original case in all capacities.
