Kotwal Ramachandra

Ramachandra was known to carry out random attacks of innocents in public in order to invoke fear that led him to develop more unwanted enemies but alleviate the situations but not his market value as he assumed.

Ramachandra gained access to political circles when he started working as driver and body guard to then Chief Minister of Karnataka, D. Devaraj Urs.

The ensuing search forced him to exit Bengaluru and seek shelter in the Tumakuru farmhouse where he was murdered.

A motion picture in Kannada, Aa Dinagalu, directed by K. M. Chaitanya, prominently depicts the rise and murder of Ramachandra.

Agni Sreedhar has written an autobiography, My Days in the Underworld-Rise of Bangalore Mafia (Westland, 2013), in which the murder of Kotwal Ramachandra has been highlighted.
