According to Hinduism, A person who commited sins will pay for
them in the courts of hell.Yaman, the hindu god of
hell has accounts of every human in his records and
punishments will be meted out accordingly. There is a book called
"Garuda Puranam" of torture rules which Mr. Yaman has for every sin
commited . Warning*it is a piece of disturbing Hindu
literature not many will want to read. *.
Now the thing is that this notion was made into a high octane
action tamil film in 2005 called
"Anniyan" (below) with the character of the
Punisher (Yaman). The movie has murder scenes according Yaman's
book of rules
A small sample
Some of the sinful are cut with
saws, like firewood, and others, thrown flat on the ground, are
chopped into pieces with axes. Some, their bodies half buried in a
pit, are pierced in the head with arrows. Others, fixed in the
middle of a press, are squeezed like sugarcane. Some are surrounded
close with blazing charcoal, enwrapped with torches, and smelted
like a lump of ore. Some are plunged into heated butter, and others
into heated oil, and like a cake thrown into the frying pan they
are turned about. Some are thrown in the path of huge maddened
elephants, and some with hands and feet bound are placed head
downwards. Some are thrown into wells; some are hurled from
heights; others, plunged into pits full of worms, are eaten away by
them....
Having experienced in due order the torments below, he comes here
again, purified.
Hinduism. Garuda Purana 3.49-71
Then the man of unwholesome deeds boils in water infested with
worms. He cannot stay still--the boiling pots, round and smooth
like bowls, have no surfaces which he can get hold of. Then he is
in the jungle of sword blades, limbs mangled and hacked, the tongue
hauled by hooks, the body beaten and slashed. Then he is in
Vetarani, a watery state difficult to get through, with its two
streams that cut like razors. The poor beings fall into it, living
out their unwholesome deeds of the past. Gnawed by hungry jackals,
ravens and black dogs, and speckled vultures and crows, the
sufferers groan. Such a state is experienced by the man of
unwholesome deeds. It is a state of absolute suffering. So a
sensible person in this world is as energetic and mindful as he can
be.
Garuda Purana 3.49-71
