About this listen

In the 1990s, when Abdul Kareem Telgi spent more than eighty lakh rupees on a dancer in a dance bar one evening, he came under the target of the police, politicians and the underworld.

Sanjay Singh, then a reporter at NDTV, broke the Telgi Scam story in 2003. At an estimated 40,000 crores, it was a scam that shook our nation. From how he graduated from being a fruit-seller to a travel agent in Mumbai to how he became the kingpin of such a large scam, that, too, with the entire administrative machinery, politicians, police, hand-in-glove with him-Telgi's story is as fascinating as they come.

Telgi: Ek Reporter Ki Diary is based on deep investigative work, interviews with all the important characters in the plot, and unravels the biggest scam of its time.

Some questions still remain. May be forever. Power, politics and corruption- a deadly combination. Telgi is dead, the scam is dead. But has the system improved?

Likes the narration, clear crisp voice with proper voice modulation. A good listen.

Interesting view of the scam from inside

Mostly talks about which police offer got what punishment. I was hoping to get some more details on the Telagi himself but book is all about police officers getting punishments.
