Mafia Queens of Mumbai uncovers the gripping, little-known stories of the women who operated from within the city’s feared Underworld. While names like Dawood Ibrahim, Karim Lala and Varadarajan Mudaliar have dominated public imagination for decades, this book reveals the hidden world of the women who walked beside them—sometimes supporting, sometimes manipulating, and sometimes leading criminal empires of their own. With powerful storytelling and meticulous research, crime journalists S. Hussain Zaidi and Jane Borges bring to life the assassins, smugglers, kingpins and silent strategists who shaped Mumbai’s murky lanes from Kamathipura to Dongri. This is a rare, compelling look at the female forces behind one of India’s most notorious criminal landscapes.
