Satish Kumar[1] (born c. 1973), better known simply as Satish, is a convicted Indian paedophile and serial killer who was active in Bahadurgarh in Haryana from 1995 to 1998. He admitted kidnapping and attempting to rape fourteen girls, murdering ten. Police confirmed Satish's involvement in twelve cases, including the ten murders. Since his victims were all five to nine years of age, he is also known as the Bahadurgarh baby killer.
The police's inability to apprehend Satish led to protests and near-riots by local residents. Under pressure, police prosecuted three men in succession as the murders continued. Satish was finally arrested in 1998 when his final victim led police to him. He was convicted of twelve sexual assaults and ten murders, and is serving a life sentence.
