In the Shadow of Dawood Ibrahim: When Justice Betrays Identity
What happens when the very system sworn to protect justice becomes the source of your deepest betrayal? In this gripping personal memoir, Subash Mohapatra bares the relentless ordeal of being branded by a judge, his identity twisted into a weapon against him in the courtroom.
Standing accused in the shadow of one of India’s most notorious fugitives, Mohapatra’s fight is more than a legal battle—it is a powerful story of resilience, courage, and the fight to reclaim truth in a world clouded by prejudice and fear. His journey exposes a justice system where suspicion can overshadow facts and where identity becomes a dangerous liability.
With unflinching honesty and raw emotion, this book pulls back the curtain on the personal costs of confronting injustice, revealing the scars left behind when power betrays fairness. It is a voice for those silenced, a call to awaken the conscience of a society that must choose between fear and fairness.
Read this memoir to witness the struggle of one man who refused to be defined by a shadow, who dared to challenge a flawed system—and who reminds us all that justice must never betray identity.
