Friends,

After getting to read about DEADLY SOMA which is one of the most interesting UNDERWORLD stories. I would like to present some info on Bengaluru Underworld. This is just to know the interesting happenings which infact made Bengaluru Black Black Road Red Red color and not to follow.

Bengalooru’s underworld dates back to the late 1960s, when Kodigehalli Mune Gowda became the first underworld don.In the beginning he controlled all of Bangalore, and his basic revenue source was hafta from brothels and arrack shops. In the ‘70s, Kotwal Ramachandra and Jayaraj entered the field. Wine shops.massage parlours,game parlours were added to the list. They had political affiliations.The scene changed in the 1980s and ‘90s, when young turks entered the field like Muthappa Rai, Sridhar(Agni Shridhar), Boot House Kumar or Oil Kumar, Bekkina Kannu Rajendra, Srirampura Kitty, Jedarahalli Krishnappa, Pushpa, Kala Pathar and Ele Naga emerged.

At the same time, the slum underworld became active, with Abu Shair, Koli Fayaz, Tanvir, Ishtiyak, Sajjad, Nazir,hibbath, Tarakari Khaleel and Chappal Hamid. Bangalore was virtually a battleground, as these operators stretched their businesses to all possible revenue earning sectors

This thread is for Information and debate sake.

Good info

Can you tell more about Bekkin Kannu Rajendra and Koli Fayaaz?

BKR is producer Ramesh Yadav's brother

Calvin, i will sure try to get some info on Bekkina Kannu rajendra. As of now he is Elder brother of Ramesh Yadav and was prominent in Srirampura. He also acted with Shivanna , guess the movie!!!!

And here is very interesting article on Sunila, which claims to be behind Bekkina Kannu Rajendra murder @ chalukya hotel.

Bekin kan Rajendra...Jedralli krishnappa...Korangu krishna and Tanveer Had acted in Shivanna's OM..

Biggest DOn to act in OM was Koli Fayaaz who was later on cut into pieces in broad daylight in Shivajinagar!!!

Calvin,
I dont think Koli Fayaz has acted in OM. It was Tanwir from Shivajinagar.

I am certain it was Koli Fayaax. I used to follow such events from then itself..I am sure he was there in the film...and the film got its USP from tat..since he was murdered before the film released.

Mental Manja songs should be heard to get quick history lesson on this.

No, Calvin it was Tanveer, who now is in Middle East. His son is Hutt Kuruda.
