The story of a police officer who, after landing a coveted place in the Indian Police Service, finds his dreams restricted by myopic conventional policing and rises to the challenge
Khaki in Dust Storm describes the investigations led by the celebrated police officer Amod K. Kanth during the tumultuous 1980s and early 1990s. This period witnessed the assassination of Indira Gandhi and the horrific riots that followed; the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi; the murder of Lalit Maken and General Vaidya; public attacks by terrorists including transistor bomb explosions; and an exponential increase in drug abuse and financial frauds. It was an era of dramatic crime, assassinations and terrorism. Kanth pieces together details, reveals previously unknown facts, carefully reconstructs the psyche of the perpetrators and recounts behind-the-scene manoeuvres. Together they make for a gripping narrative.SKU: n/a -

In the second volume of the Police Diaries series, Khaki on Broken Wings, former director general of police Amod K. Kanth untangles some of the most sensational and heinous crimes that dominated national headlines. Deploying his deep knowledge of real world crimes committed by the rich and the powerful, Kanth lays bare the loopholes within the criminal justice system, comprising the police, whose investigations are crucial to any prosecution, the courts and lawyers, and the prison and correctional services, which they exploit ruthlessly.
Among the many gripping stories Kanth narrates is the story of the mafia lord Romesh Sharma, who terrorised his targets to extort properties worth hundreds of crores and thwarted investigations using his access to powerful people in the political and corporate world. He also recounts how ‘Bikini Killer’ Charles Sobhraj managed a sensational escape from the high-security Tihar Jail in Delhi and the complex story behind the fight for justice in the BMW hit-and-run case that left several people dead.
Kanth passionately argues for the radical restructuring of the criminal justice system so that the police and the justice system are able to protect the poor, the needy and the helpless instead of being subservient to the rich and the powerful.
