The answer is yes. The makers of the series have clearly mentioned that Bhagwat Chapter 1 Raakshas is inspired by true events. However, the makers have maintained their silence on which particular case it is based on.
Updated Version-
Bhagwat Chapter 1 Raakshas is a crime thriller inspired by real life serial killer named Mohan Kumar infamous as Cyanide Mohan.
Mohan, a former Karnataka schoolteacher, looked like any other middle-class guy. He was polite, pious, and apparently reliable. His public persona was that of a devout, orderly man who blended in perfectly with the small-town routine. Behind the mask, however, he carried out a string of heinous and well-planned atrocities that would torment investigators for years to come.
Mohan targeted vulnerable women from 2003 to 2009. Typically, they were members of traditional families looking for marriage alliances, widows, or divorcees. Prior to their marriage, he would accompany them to temples or lodges to perform religious ceremonies after building rapport and gaining their trust. He would give them a "contraceptive pill" to swallow there. However, that wasn't a pill for contraception. The pill was cyanide.
The character of Mohan is played by actor Jitendra Kumar. Jitendra's character in the movie is names Sameer.
The crime thriller revolved around a hot-headed Police officer named Vishwas Bhagwat who gets transferred to Robertsganj, Uttar Pradesh. The Inspector gets a case of a missing girl who has not returned to her home. During the investigation, Bhagwat finds that there are a total of 19 girls are missing.
Under the suspicion, he arrests a man named Sameer who is a Chemistry Professor in a College. Sameer then fights his case by his own in the court. What happens next will be revealed once the series gets released on Zee5.
Talking about characters, it features Arshad Warsi as Inspector Vishwas Bhagwat, Panchayat-fame actor Jitendra Kumar as Sameer, Ayesha Kaduskar, Hemant Saini, and more in the key roles.
