A book based on long running crime series, Crime Patrol, should hit the stands soon. Titled Crime Patrol: The Most Thrilling Stories by Annup Sonii (pictured) and Oswald Pereira, it has been endorsed by Ajay Devgn who says, “Crime doesn’t pay, but it makes for good reading. This book gives you a ringside view of some of the most dangerous crimes.” The book covers true crime stories in some of India’s small towns and warns that signs which may appear ordinary at times, could turn out into heinous crimes.

Annup, who has been hosting the show, points out that for those who are misguided, crime is thrilling. “Little do they know that it has grave consequences both for the victim(s) and the perpetrators. There are many deterrents, like the police force which does a remarkable job in putting such monsters behind bars, but we as citizens need to be vigilant and do our duty in keeping society safe. This is a book which lists some of the most heinous crimes and directs each one of us to keep away from crimes and also falling victim to it,” he asserts.

Oswald adds that it also highlights how the police work round-the-clock in investigating crime, using all their skills and resources in bringing the culprits to book. “My experience as a journalist who had written on crime for several years, helped me in adding a touch of reality to the stories and characters and showing how tough the police’s job is and their tenacity in solving seemingly mysterious cases, despite the many odds that they face,” he informs.
