All these killings were carried out by the Chhota Rajan’s gang members who had by then become famous as the “Hindu Don” of Mumbai. A counter terrorism expert of Mumbai provides this rather interesting perspective “While it is important to stress here that there should be absolutely no space for any kind of violence in a civilized democracy, what Chhota Rajan provided in those dark years was a much needed counterbalance to an otherwise completely overwhelming control of Dawood Ibrahim especially in the wake of his new-found alliance with Pakistani terror organizations.” One cannot even begin to fathom the importance of the rise of the “Hindu Mafia” in Mumbai without understanding the dark years of Bollywood during the 1980’s and 1990’s, for it was in this era that the city of gold and glamor had gone into a tailspin of underworld sponsored violence.
