Furthermore, as she prefers to stay well away from the spotlight, apart from presumptions and theories, the only thing we know for sure about her is that she still resides in America. Usha, in her early 50s, is almost two decades older than her father’s current wife, Nihita Biswas (the daughter of his Nepalese lawyer, Shakuntala Thapa), so we assume that that must be a bit awkward for her as well. After all, as she grew up in the Western side of the world with her mother and step-father, she had already established a good life for herself by the time Charles secured his temporary freedom. In saying that, though, it remains unclear whether Usha has since formed a relationship with the convicted criminal or not.

From Charles Sobhraj's murderous rampage to where he is now. Ultimately, though, once Chantal was released and won custody, she and Usha relocated to America. Yet, from there, she was apparently kidnapped by her father, who had managed to flee from prison once again.

But in reality, that transpired a bit later, with Usha being born in Mumbai in the early 70s. The series tells the story of Sobhraj and Dutch diplomat Herman Knippenberg who in 1976, at the age of 31, received a letter from the relative of two missing backpackers at his country’s embassy in Bangkok.

However, even though Juliette and Madhu don’t actually exist in Charles’ tale, they are based on his real-life first wife, Paris-born Frenchwoman Chantal Compagnon, and their daughter, Usha Sobhraj. In the latter episodes of ‘The Serpent,’ we are introduced to Charles Sobhraj’s first wife, Juliette Voclain, and their toddler daughter, Madhu, as they reside in Mumbai (then-Bombay), India, in 1973.
