Woman's ‘terrifying’ reaction on sitting next to Charles Sobhraj in plane goes viral

French serial killer Charles Sobhraj, responsible for multiple murders in the 1970s across Asia, arrived in Paris on Saturday after almost 20 years in prison in Nepal, an AFP reporter confirmed.

Nepal's top court ruled Wednesday that he should be freed on health grounds and deported to France within 15 days. He was released from prison two days later.


On Friday he boarded a flight at Kathmandu airport to take him to France via Doha. On arrival at the French capital, he was taken by border police for "identity checks", according to an airport source.

Now, a picture of Sobhraj on his flight to France has gone viral on the internet. The picture shows him sitting on an aisle seat. However, it is a woman’s horrifying expression on finding herself seated next to the criminal that has caught the attention of netizens.

The photo has sparked tons of reactions online and is being given witty captions by many.
