‘Gripping thriller, right from beginning to the end.’

— Zee Media

‘An enthralling story, the finer details of which may leave you stumped.’

– Navbharat Times

 

Author, Sanjay Singh, says, “It is about the complex web of deceit spun by men in Khaki proving the fact that *’Money and Power are absolute, but Shit prevails!’*

The story will help you see through the lust and greed of these men who can go to any extent that you may have never imagined before. Also read about how they operate, who their puppet masters & masterminds are.

Being investigative journalists, we have seen cops very closely and know them In & Out. We have tried to bring the best of our rich experience on paper, keeping the interest of our readers in mind. We are confident that this story will introduce readers to an unseen, unfamiliar, darker face of men in khaki.”

Executive Editor, Sachin Sharma, says, “Racy, thrilling, and unputdownable, CIU is the story of how power corrupts and what happens when you add cops, terrorists, politicians, and a billionaire to the plot. Sanjay and Rakesh have written a book that is thoroughly enjoyable and will stay with the reader for a long time.”

What unfolds next has the potential to embarrass the state government. Is the CIU chief a player or a pawn in this surreptitious conspiracy? With six investigative agencies now pursuing this case, who will emerge the hunters and who the hunted? Who will turn out to be the most dangerous players of this dirty game—the biggest ‘criminals in uniform’?
