People killing or trying to kill rich people I grew up in the underbelly of criminal gangs in the 80's where movie producers would get shot and killed, people would get stabbed on railway bridges, thrown out of trains. The same shit is playing out now. Thinking of Maharashtra as a whole, crime is increasing be it Kolhapur or Beed. Koyta gangs running their operations in tier-2 cities too.
