The Dangerous Dozen : Hitmen of the Mumbai Underworld

Munna Jhingada, Farid Tanasha, Baba Reddy—infamous hitmen and executioners, each with chilling stories to tell.

The executioner knows no remorse. He is the enforcer who instills fear at the mere mention of his name, carrying out his boss’s deadly orders without hesitation. Though he commands no criminal empire, his brutal exploits could fill countless police case files. In a world where those who live by the bullet often die by it, these men rarely escape their inevitable fate. But during their brief reigns of terror, they leave behind a legacy of devastation.

In this unflinching book, India’s top crime writer, S. Hussain Zaidi, drawing on years of meticulous research, delves into the lives of twelve of Mumbai’s most ruthless and fearless hitmen. Zaidi offers readers a rare glimpse into the minds of the men who fueled some of the city’s bloodiest conflicts and showdowns.
