Mumbai, the night of 25 June 1975. The Emergency was declared, and police vehicles rolled to addresses no uniform had dared to enter without permission. The men they were after were the dark sultans of Bombay. Haji Mastan, Karim Lala and Varadarajan Mudaliar (Vardha Bhai): three men, three territories, one city. They never raised an army or declared an empire, yet for years the heartbeat of Bombay moved at their command. How? And when they were finally arrested, was their era really over?
