UNBOUNDED (PB)

What does it take to head the
police department in a state with an intriguing political backdrop? How did a
policeman move unarmed and fearlessly for 37 long years in the badlands of
Bihar? Can a tough taskmaster be a humanist at heart?
This book explores such compelling questions through the eyes of Bihar’s
most celebrated police officer, Abhayanand. Entering the world of police with
the mindset of a physicist, he became a very unconventional police
officer.
This is a tale of how his scientific mind remained ‘unbounded’, egging him
to remain innovative in tackling crime. Through real incidents and
experiences, the author, in his unique style, narrates how he used law over
the muscle power of police in obliterating some of the most heinous crimes in
the most unusual ways. He also presents a bird’s-eye view of the criminal
justice system and the sociopolitical ambience of our society.
Bihar’s former director general of police (DGP) became a household name for
the impact he created, so much so that criminals of all hues—from bahubalis
to conmen—dreaded Abhayanand, not for his gun but for his intelligence and
his steel grip.
The book also clears the mist surrounding the grand social experiment
popularly known as Super 30, which he conceptualized and implemented in order
to help underprivileged students make it to the prestigious IITs. Thereafter,
he also created an equally successful Rahmani 30, which taught
underprivileged Muslim students.
This is the riveting story of a policeman, a physicist, a teacher and a
humanist.
