To Rahul, crime had been easy. Being a criminal wasn’t.” These opening lines from one of the chapters of Puja Changoiwala’s Gangster on the run: The true story of a reformed criminal sum up the entire book. Still, it does not have a preachy, motivational tone nor is this a long, circuitous journey to drive home the age-old maxim, “crime never pays”.
The author deserves credit for presenting like a racy thriller a real-life account of former gangster Rahul Jadhav alias Bhiku — his crimes, struggles and the ultimate transformation that saw him becoming a marathoner in his early 40s.
