#1 Wanted in 21 cases of loot, dacoity and murder, Mohar Singh carried a reward of Rs.20,000.
The guy is wanted in 21 cases of looting, robbery and murder and he has less than a $500 reward on his head?
Yes, I realize that Rs 20,000 is a LOT of money in India. A few years ago somebody told me that the starting salary for a programmer was Rs 10000; other people make a lot less.
