Brahmastra (PB)
ISBN: 978-93-85509-91-9
Not so long ago, in the 1980s and 1990s, Mumbai, the commercial capital of India, was reeling under the horror of killings, extortion, gang wars, and kidnappings by the underworld. The citizens were terrified, the law-and-order situation seemed hopeless, and the government and the police were being questioned about their inability to tackle the underworld menace that had engulfed Mumbai.
But then came a ray of hope in a powerful strategy that would eventually end the reign of terror. In this book, one of the main players in this complex game, former Police Commissioner of Mumbai D. Sivanandhan—who was instrumental in bringing peace back to the mean streets of the city—tells the story of how the gangs were defeated in a thrilling, awe-inspiring tale. The Brahmastra Unleashed: A First-Person Account of How the Mumbai Underworld Was Annihilated captures the scenario as it happened all those years ago.
Sivanandhan is a 1976-batch Indian Police Service (IPS) officer belonging to the Maharashtra cadre. He retired as Director General of Police (DGP), Maharashtra, in 2011. He has had a highly decorated and successful career as a police officer, serving as Mumbai Police Commissioner, Chief of the elite Mumbai Crime Branch, Police Commissioner of Thane and Nagpur, and Special Inspector General of Police (IGP) Anti-Naxal Operations. He was instrumental in demolishing the Mumbai underworld during his tenure as chief of the Mumbai Crime Branch. He is also the co-author of the best-selling book Chanakya’s Seven Secrets of Leadership.
In 2017, D. Sivanandhan founded Roti Bank Mumbai, an NGO feeding the poor, which has served over 20 million meals to date.
