What would your air travel be like if you realize that the one sitting next to you on the flight is Charles Sobhraj? A photo of a woman accepting the ‘bikini killer’ traveling with her has gone viral on the internet.
He was released from a Nepal jail on health grounds last week after serving nearly 20 years after being convicted of a series of murders of backpackers in Asia during the 1970s.
The mask-clad woman in the image is seen looking at 78-year-old Sobhraj, who earned the nickname ‘The Serpent’ for his evasion of police.
“Probably scared of her skin. Poor,” read the response from a username @DrDatta01.

Another user shared the image saying: “I would also look a little scared if I find out I am sitting next to a serial killer on a long haul flight to Paris.”
But it wasn’t just the murders of tourists in Nepal that Sobhraj committed. He was suspected of more murders, including in Thailand, where he allegedly killed six women in the 1970s.
He was also arrested in India for poisoning a group of French tourists in the national capital in 1976.
“I feel very good… I have a lot to do. I have to sue a lot of people. Including the state of Nepal,” Sobhraj told AFP on the flight from Nepal to Paris.
