The Shadow of Evil | Jigs Ashar & Sarthak Dasgupta | True Crime Story | KharidobechoBooks

Nagpur, 2004: What made more than two hundred women stab a gangster to death in a packed courtroom? Akku Yadav had cast a monstrous shadow over the slums of Nagpur for over a decade. His reign of terror was absolute. He and his men eve-teased girls and women, arm-twisted the law, killed at will, assaulted and abused without fear. Supported by corrupt cops and fearful politicians, Akku unleashed a murderous rampage that tested the very limits of humanity. Four crusaders – a lawyer, a bar owner, a banker, and a young working woman – raise their voice against him. They encouraged others to stand up and say, ‘no’ to his cruel tyranny. Can these ordinary men and women of a small basti finally shatter a decade of fear? Will this help them eradicate the evil that consumed their lives? Or will their desperate gamble fail under The Shadow of Evil?
