Ninety Days: The True Story of the Hunt for Rajiv Gandhi's Assassins [NOW A MAJOR WEB SERIES]

by Anirudhya Mitra

‘Killing me will not help you escape. My men will catch you and roast you, because your ticket to martyrdom—the cyanide capsule—is in my hand.’

This is the dialogue between Murugan and NSG Captain Ravindran while the later had a gun pointed at his torso. This is how gripping the story of most infamous gang of assassins is. How they managed to evade arrest and how they were meticulously tracked by the SIT. I have lived this story via newspaper reports but thanks to this book one comes to know the "behind the scenes" or rather "behind the headlines" story that took place. Must read for anyone curious to know what really happened. Well researched with true insights into the working of the bureaucratic laden investigative agencies. The near miss of catching the kingpin alive. Reads like a thriller.
