Abstract

The article discusses India's underground organizations as of February 2011. It states that the murder of Yashwant Sonawane, the Additional District Collector of Malegaon in Maharashtra in early 2011 brought renewed attention to the country's criminal gangs and their involvement in oil. It states that revenues generated by such operations produce between 18% to 50% of the entire country's gross domestic product (GDP), but specific figures are hard to come by because of complicity by police and politicians, who allow these criminals to operate openly.
