Man arrested for 7 murders, cannibalism [India]
Jupinderjit Singh via Tribune ^ | December 1, 2005

Ludhiana, November 30 Thirty-four years of hiding from the police, seven ruthless murders, including the cannibal act of devouring the head of his former servant, are enlisted as the ‘notorious achievements’ in the criminal record of a 55-year-old chronic opium smuggler, who after eluding the law all these years has finally landed in police custody.

With his arrest, files of seven murders that were gathering dust have been brought out by the police department. Many more such cases in Punjab or Uttar Pradesh, where the man lived for several years under assumed identities, are likely to be unearthed.

Despite the temptation of terming him Punjab’s latest serial killer, the police refrained from using the term as the accused had a proper motive in killing four of his seven victims. Others were just done to death in a fit of rage or to satisfy himself.

The man, Major Singh alias, Jagga alias Jagan Nath, is probably one of the first criminals in Punjab who had the dubious distinction of being a cannibal too. During the 34 years of eluding the police, he seemed to have just one solution for people who troubled him- murder them and that too in a gory manner.

So according to the locals LEOS, he's not a serial killer --he just happens to have killed a lot of people.

What exactly is a "proper motive?"

Forum etiquette says you respond when people post to you.
Word of advice, if you want to post here a long time, refrain from throwing text grenades out to bait people like the ones found at the below links:

Can't see why. That's a factual list and a good insight to how strange the world is.
