Sushant Singh, host of Savdhaan India, crime-based reality show, along with his co-author Kulpreet Yadav will soon bring out a book on India's women criminals. It was expected to be launched on May 20, said Penguin, the publisher. The 288-page book Queens of Crime features "raw, violent and seemingly unbelievable" but true renditions of India's 10 women criminals.
"Dysfunctional families, sexual abuse, sheer greed and sometimes just a skewed moral compass. These are some of the triggers that drove the women, captured in these pages, to become lawbreakers. Queens of Crime demonstrates a haunting criminal power that most people do not associate women with," read the book's blurb.
Based on painstaking research, this is the first book by Singh, a film and television actor who has hosted "Savdhaan India" for almost seven years. It is co-authored by Kulpreet Yadav, an author who took voluntary retirement from the armed forces to pursue a career in writing and won the Best Fiction Writer (2018) award at the Gurgaon Literature Festival.
