Did you know Sher Singh Rana, Bandit Queen Phoolan Devi’s killer, walked out of prison with his friends dressed up like the police officers who were to escort him to Roorkee for his hearing? India’s most notorious conman, Natwarlal, who was sentenced for an incredible 113 years by various courts, promised to pay a police officer a large amount of money if he helped him to escape after which the entire bundle of cash just caught fire all by itself.
In The Most Notorious Jailbreakers, journalist Abeer Kapoor helps you meet some really ‘infamous’ people, all of them criminals, who have escaped the gated walls of prisons all over India. From a math and computer teacher who is actually a rapist on parole, to a backward caste gangster famous for his bloodshedding escapade, and a former PM of a princely state who will do anything to con the authorities; Abeer pieces together the escape plans of 16 such notorious convicts who gave authorities hell, every time
Book Review
Oh My! This book, filled with Jailbreaks, Cover – ups, Hide and Seeks and Assassinations, of Dons and Smugglers was a thrilling read! And only about 181 pages long that I wolfed in two hours’ time! Only if the book had a few pictures of the people and events concerned, this would have been an even more resourceful book!
So, if you liked the blurb and want to know more about a few most infamous prison escapes, do check out this book!
