Inspector Madhukar Zende’s capture of Charles Sobhraj is back in focus with a new Netflix series. Zende, who apprehended the ‘Bikini Killer’ twice, became a national hero. His second arrest led to widespread media coverage, a witty hoarding, and even an autograph request from Lata Mangeshkar. Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Dilip Kumar also acknowledged Zende’s bravery, solidifying his fame.
