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 sampleSome 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.
