Notorious Shooter Subhash Singh Thakur Returns to Maharashtra After Decades-Long Crime Spree

For years, the name of Subhash Singh Thakur appeared repeatedly in connection with some of Mumbai’s most serious crime cases from the early 1990s, a period when gang violence spilled onto the streets and even into hospital wards. Associated with the Dawood Ibrahim gang, Thakur was among the main shooters active during a phase marked by gang rivalries in Mumbai. On Monday night, Thakur, one of the accused in the 1992 Sir J J Hospital firing case, in which he was initially sentenced to death before the punishment was reduced to life imprisonment, was brought back to Maharashtra. His return from a prison in Uttar Pradesh, where he was lodged in a separate case, has once again drawn attention to one ofMumbai’s most feared shooters of that era, who the Maharashtra Police have brought back to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region for his involvement in the murder of a builder in Virar.
