Freelancer Gangs Reshape Organized Crime in India
1 Mar
Summary
- Organized crime in India is evolving into a new form.
- Modern crime operates in an aggregator mode with freelancers.
- This new model resembles a large-scale business operation.
The collective consciousness of India often links 'gangster' to the Mumbai underworld of the 1980s and 1990s, a period immortalized by Bollywood. Figures like Dawood Ibrahim defined this era.
Nearly three decades after that version of organized crime was dismantled, a new form is emerging, reaching a scale that recalls the 1990s. However, this contemporary underworld operates as a distinct entity.
It functions in an aggregator mode, akin to modern large-scale businesses. The most dangerous criminal entities are no longer fixed groups but fluid collectives of freelancers. These individuals perform specific tasks and receive commissions for their services.
