"Naturally, they are filth. We have to clean them from our society," states Inspector Sharma, explaining how he deals with Mumbai's gang members. "Gangsters understand the language of the bullet. They won't understand the criminal justice system so police realise its better to kill these people," explains crime reporter Hussain Zaidi. Bollywood has embraced its home-grown gang overlords and killer cops. Films blurring fact and fiction regularly play to packed audiences. In the words of one director: "The uniqueness of gangs in Mumbai is they are so much a part of the city. You don't know where they start or end." (ABC Aus)
