January 1, 1972 - Akku Yadav
For over a decade, he operated with near-total impunity within a single slum community, where geographic and social isolation left residents with little recourse against sustained violence. The harm he caused was concentrated and intimate — carried out against neighbors, within homes, across years — making the pattern of control as significant as any individual act. His 2004 death at the hands of a mob of local women became widely reported, reflecting both the scale of accumulated grievance and the absence of institutional protection that had allowed his crimes to continue.
From Wikipedia
Bharat Kalicharan Yadav (1971 – 13 August 2004), also known as Akku Yadav, was an Indian gangster, robber, home invader, kidnapper, serial rapist, serial killer, and extortionist. Akku grew up in the Kasturba Nagar slum, which is located in the Indian central city of Nagpur, Maharashtra. He lived and did business in the slum which housed a number of criminals and two rival gangs.
Akku's earliest known crime was a gang rape in 1991. Akku and his gang committed crimes consisting of rape, murder, home invasion, and extortion in Kasturba Nagar for 13 years, until his death. Akku tried to create a small business empire; he extorted money, harming and threatening those who resisted him. During his life as a criminal, Akku murdered at least three individuals. He tortured and kidnapped people, invaded homes, and raped over 40 women and girls.
