In this weekender episode, we take you back to a time when Mumbai was living under the shadow of the underworld- when extortion calls, gang wars, and contract killings were part of daily life. We are joined by one of the key officers who led the operations that broke the backbone of Mumbai’s mafia networks. As he talks about his book The Brahmastra Unleashed, we unpack what was really happening on the streets, what changed within the police force, and how the city slowly took back control.

What Mumbai looked and felt like during the peak of gang dominance? How the police tracked and tackled major gangs? What’s the truth behind “encounter specialists” versus the myths created by cinema? All in this episode. Tune in.

Guest: D. Sivanandhan IPS (Retd.), Former Police Commissioner of Mumbai

Host: Vinaya Deshpande Pandit, Maharashtra Chief of Bureau, The Hindu

Shot by Emmanual Karbhari and Aditya Shirsekar
