About this ebook
The story of female underworld/mafia dons who have dominated in various parts of India with their power and stealth over the past decades.
Several of these women started as the archetypal “abla nari”— victims of poverty, victims of circumstances, victims of violence. But once they overcome their obstacles, these women became the exact monsters with whom they lived fearfully. They lost their heart and feelings as they went about their business of crime. A few, of course, were natural-born killers, psychopaths who thrived on others’ pain and had no qualms in killing even their own family members for greed or even small helpless children. Some of the women featured in this anthology are Matka King Suresh Bhagat’s wife Jaya Cheda, Heera Gold group owner Aalima Nowhera Shaik, and madam of Delhi’s high-class call girl racket Sonu Panjaban.
