Bhaigiri in  Mumbai

It is almost a decade since trendsetting ganglord Chhota Rajan's right-hand-man D K Rao was on the streets of Mumbai. And now, he is back.

I still remember Rao being escorted to the Crime Branch after the infamous encounters on November 11, 1998.

Crime branch officials were wheeling the bodies of five gangsters apparently killed in an encounter to the morgue at KEM hospital when they got a shock. Suddenly, one of the 'bodies' rose from the dead and yelled, 'main zinda hoon!' (I am alive!).


The injured gangster was immediately whisked away to one of the wards secretly. Born Ravi Mallesh Bora, D K Rao, who also went by the alias Akaash, spent the next ten years in jail until his release last week.
