Product Information

A humorist at heart, he’s in a “happy zone”, and thankful to the almighty, and his wife for supporting him through thick and thin. As described by other readers, this book is really a narration of the thrilling chase of the then gruesome Criminal in Bihar. But, he also insisted that Lodha jots down his adventures as a book, which has now released with the name of Bihar Diaries. No conversation with this cop-turned-author can be brief since the man in uniform is a raconteur who has been “lucky” to have had a first-hand account of Bihar’s underbelly, and “hard-working” to achieve whatever he aimed for. But, the platform has finally found the right man to put an end to its miseries and clean its image as a wokeism-inflicted platform.

He was lucky to have colleagues who supported him in this dangerous, high-stakes case and helped pursue these brigands relentlessly. The story has all the ingredients of a steamy potboiler, with action, emotions and thrill added in dollops. Not only this, but IPS Amit Lodha also wrote a book titled Bihar Diaries based on the crimes and life of Pintu Mahto. Also, Mr Lodha is very honest in admitting the fears that go through a policeman's mind and how risky things are for them and their families.All political parties without exception, indulged in power-game as more and more players entered the electoral arena. Gangsters like Pintu Mahto, who was accused of nearly thirty murders and kidnappings, including the murders of three police officers and Congress politician Rajo Singh, made up the Ashok Mahto gang. The book might seem pompous, and a bit exaggerated in places, but Mr Lodha admits that in the foreword itself. They have suddenly arrived and started firing on the family of the independent MLA Aruna Devi, Wife of Akhilesh Singh Samant’s arch enemy.

I will not mention names of any character, all were great in there roles not a single person disappointed by his or her acting.As a thriller, while engaging and fast-paced, it does not give you a huge pay off, given that things in real life sometimes do tie up a little too simply in the end. While the web series does not allow for that because all of the actors have meticulously imbibed their characters and painted a crystal clear picture, there is no room for ambiguity. Indians are very well aware of the dirty politics and that too the sickening reach politics has in Bihar, India's most backward state. The establishment believed in sushaasan, or good governance, and the results are for everyone to see. So, I’m not naturally a gifted person, but if I decide something, then I work towards getting it,” says the Kishore Kumar fan.

Adapting real-life police officers’ books for series provides a real-life case and a narrator who has gone through it. This is one of the top Indian series on my list after Mirzapur, family man etc; The story/plot might be known from before but the way it was directed and displayed was very unique, stylish and also entertaining. Manish Kalra, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5, says, “The success of any show or movie relies heavily on the storytelling – if it’s done right, and if the plot is intriguing enough to hold the viewers’ attention.The Neeraj Pandey conceptualised web series is based on a chapter in IPS officer Amit Lodha’s life, which he documented in his book The Bihar Diaries. Through this book, Lodha aims to show readers how much hard work, patience and strength of character is required to pursue a criminal like Vijay Samrat, who not only had a large posse of men to do his bidding but also well-wishers in high places. Rajo Singh, a sitting Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha), was killed in 2005 by Ashok Mahto and his gang.
