C is for Criminal

Women who are known for their demure nature also have another side just like men. While maximum percent of prisons have male inmates, there are some women who are not lagging behind their opposite sex when it comes to crime.

There are several Indian women against whom Interpol has issued Red Corner notices. 

Below are some of the wanted pretty faces;

1. Faces of Terror - Reshma Menon and Shabana Menon

Reshma Menon the wife of Indian gangster Tiger Memon and Shabana Menon wife of Ayub Menon have alleged involvement in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts.

 They are popularly known as the loyal wives who stood beside their husbands in almost all criminal activities. A Red-corner notice was issued by the Interpol against Reshma and Shabana and Rs 25,000 reward was announced by the Mumbai police. Both ladies are suspected to be in Pakistan with their husbands.

2. The Dons - Anusuyia and Santoshi Bai

Externed from Mahakaushal region in Madhya Pradesh, there are two women who had emerged fiercer and bolder than their male counterparts.

Anusuyia at the age of 38 was hauled up 19 times before court for the same offence of illicit liquor. What's more surprising is the fact that she believes this "Tadipar" order would help her to establish more in male dominating society.

Santoshi Bai - another habitual offender is accused of human trafficking.

3. Khoon Bhare Hath - The Murderers

There can nothing be more daunting than a woman killing children brutally. Popularly known as ‘Sinister sisters’, Seema Mohan Gavit and Renuka Shinde are waiting for their death sentence as Supreme Court confirms same on 31 August 2006. Both are accused of kidnapping 13 and murdering nine children all aged between 1.5 to 4 years. They kidnapped the innocent souls to demand ransom and use them as props for their thefts and begging. All children were killed when either they cried non-stop or became too big to carry. Google and read on the way they killed the children - only if you have strong heart.

4. Insane Lover – Dr. Omana Edadan

We believe that education makes better human beings. What do we believe into when the symbol of god itself - a doctor, well-educated takes life into its own hands.

Omana is wanted in the shocking case for the murder of her lover Muralidharan (who she confessed was drifting away from her) in 1996. With detailed precision in surgery, she dismembered him and cut hid bones into several pieces. She was careful enough to pack his flesh and bones in separate plastic bags. It is said she took her own sweet time to complete the procedure – around three months. The lady love was arrested while trying to get rid of one of the bags and has been on run after she jumped her bail in 2001.
