[mysteriesandthrillers]

India's First Female Detective -

Rajani Pandit (born 1962) is an Indian private investigator and entrepreneur from Maharashtra. Credited as the first female detective in India, in 1986 she started the Rajani Investigative Bureau, which by 2010 had grown to employ a staff of 30 detectives.

Also known as Lady James Bond, she has solved over 80k cases. She decided that she wanted to be a detective after finishing her college degree. Even during her college days she had solved a few cases. Her father used to work for the local police department's criminal investigation department and that probably served as an inspiration for her. Initially her family were against her career decision but in the end they gave up and agreed to support her.

Rajani Pandit had received 63 awards for her services and she still continues to work as a private investigator while narrating her struggles and dedication to succeed in her career, motivating young girls and proving that you can pursue any career regardless of gender and societal norms.

Her most difficult case = when she had to solve a murder. there were no clues or evidence. So, she decided to go undercover as a maid and worked for 6 months in the house where the murder had taken place. That is how she had solved the murder mystery.

Rajani’s work includes background checks, financial fraud, pre and post-employment check, personal investigation, etc. .

- The boys doing a total advertisement for themselves. Yeh lo, Tinder bios.

“I know you were trouble when you walked in,” Omkara Oberoi. Daddy Issues. Extremely intellectual. Hot. Has Brains. Even tempered. If Akash was expanded as a character with issues. 

“I JUST MET YOU, THIS IS CRAZY, HERE’S MY NUMBER, CALL ME BABY” Rudy. Bhaiyas took all the brains so here are the brawns. This is NK in another universe.

“Who the fuck made my Tinder?” *crashes phone* Arnav who prays, with more issues, I didn’t think this was possible.

Meet India’s Own Sherlock Who Once Went Undercover As a Maid to Crack a Murder Mystery

Meet India’s Own Sherlock Who Once Went Undercover As a Maid to Crack a Murder Mystery

Meet India’s Own Sherlock Who Once Went Undercover As a Maid to Crack a Murder Mystery Surya Sathya Narayanan Hyderabd040-395603080 October 17, 2019

Benedict Cumberbatch, Robert Downey Jr, and Roger Moore. What do they have in common?

These people have been by far the best depictions of the fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes. As much as they have done justice to being a detective on screen, what about the justice in real life? The western scene may have plenty, but several of these detectives in India are undermined and looked down at. Against this backdrop, how do you think a female detective would fare? Hard to think, isn’t it?

How about the first-ever ‘woman’ detective? The image of a woman battling tough situations alone and doing adventurous stuff seems like something out of a movie. But, no; it is true.

Meet Rajani Pandit, the first-ever woman detective in India.

From the state of Maharashtra, Rajani is considered a pioneer in the field of investigation. At the age of 50, Rajani claims that she has worked on and solved about 80,000 cases over the years. Read on to know about India’s very own Lady Sherlock.

The Very Beginning…

bpbweekend / Instagram

Rajani’s father worked for the Crime Investigation Department (CID) and over time Rajani picked up the art and science of investigation. At the young age of 22, Rajani went on to solve her first ever case when she was in college.

While in college, Rajani worked part-time as an office clerk for a firm. Around this time, one of her seniors told Rajani about thefts at her residence. With her son being married recently, her doubt was on the new addition to the family. However, she had nothing to prove her point. The case opened the doors of curiosity and passion inside Rajani, who went on to offer help.

Setting up a watch from across the street, Rajani kept eye on the house round the clock. Soon, she realized that the lady’s daughter-in-law was innocent. And, the culprit was her own son. Upon questioning him further, he confessed to the crime.

This was the first feather on Rajani’s cap and from here, there was no stopping her.

Back in the days, resources were minimal and yet, through mere word of mouth, she was able to create a career around her passion. And that did not come without a cost. Being a detective put her directly in the line of danger. Nevertheless, she was married to her profession.

Being a fairly tough job, Rajani did not tell her parents about it. In due course of time, her father figured out and reminded her of the dangers involved in the job. She never denied the dangers involved. Rather, she enjoyed it and went on with her work to an extent that she neither had time nor interest to start a family.

When The Going Gets Tough…

Source: TimesNow

With a number of cases up her sleeves, the one that brought her directly into the limelight was her investigation of a murder. In this case, which Rajani describes as her toughest, she went undercover for over six months in the guise of domestic help.

The case involved a man and his son being murdered and there was absolutely no proof about it whatsoever. Disguised as a maid, Rajani did all the odd jobs at the woman’s house and even took care of her when she fell ill. Eventually, she gained the trust of the woman — the prime suspect of the case. All along the six months, Rajani recorded the woman’s conversations with her secretly.

However, one day, the recorder gave out a ‘click’ raising the suspect’s suspicion. After this point, she never allowed Rajani to leave the house.

Completely tied down to the house, Rajani saw her escape when her ‘employer’ has a visitor — the hitman who killed the father and son. Knowing who it was she was highly motivated to find her way out. And, what works better than an emergency.

Using a knife from the kitchen, she cut her foot and used that as an excuse to leave the home to buy bandage. She ran out to the nearest telephone booth and called her client. The very same day, the lady and the hitman were arrested.

If that is not impressive, not sure what else is.

Over the years, Rajani has solved numerous cases and she is not willing to ride into the sunset yet. In her years of work, she has put on several guises — blind woman, dumb woman, pregnant, and once, even a lunatic. This was to cover a range of cases such as missing people, murder, and corporate espionage.

Today, Rajani has taken it on herself to train and hire female detectives, who also want to make a mark in the field.

That is the amazing story of Rajani Pandit, India’s first female detective, and author of two novels. The stereotypes held against women have been broken time and again. Rajani has created her legacy. It is your time now. What are you going to leave behind — a stereotype or a legacy? Choose wisely.

Lok Sabha Election Boom Time For India's Best Known Woman Detective

Lok Sabha Election Boom Time For India’s Best Known Woman Detective

Rajani Pandit has been conducting covert operations for over 30 years out of her small office in Mumbai.

Mumbai: 

As India’s best-known female private eye, Rajani Pandit has posed as crazy, blind and deaf to solve murders and unmask unsuitable fiances. But election time is boom time for the woman dubbed “Miss Marple”.

[global-news-station]

As India’s best-known female private eye, Rajani Pandit has posed as crazy, blind and deaf to solve murders and unmask unsuitable fiancés. But election time is boom time for the woman dubbed “Miss Marple”.

In the world’s biggest election ending on Sunday, Pandit and others like her are in high demand from political parties to dig up dirt on the opposition and make sure their own candidates are squeaky clean.

“It’s confidential but whenever a party finds one of its own candidates or an opposition candidate suspicious they ask us to investigate them,” Mumbai-based Pandit told AFP.

“Often we are asked to look into their finances and how they have procured money to fund their campaigns. We try to maintain a low profile,” the 57-year-old added.

Inundated

Hindu nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi is up against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in the world’s largest democratic exercise, which is awash with cash. Some experts say the polls could cost $10 billion.

Pandit says her team has been busy “integrating” themselves into political parties since January, inspecting finances and attending rallies before submitting reports to their clients.

“There’s usually a surge of cases ahead of the elections. We’ve been inundated with requests and were only able to take on a few,” she said.

Kunwar Vikram Singh, chairman of India’s Association of Private Detectives and Investigators, said “there’s a lot of due diligence”.

“(A candidate’s) local reputation, influence, his stance in his own caste… all these things are looked into,” Singh told AFP.

Magnifying glass

Private detective agencies are popular in India, with sleuths tasked with solving everything from petty household thefts to business deals gone wrong.

Pandit has been conducting covert operations across India for over 30 years out of her small office in the Asian giant’s financial capital.

The investigator — who does own a magnifying glass — was dubbed India’s first female private detective by media outlets when she began cracking cases in the early 1980s.

She has been featured in countless newspaper articles, often referred to as India’s “Miss Marple” or “Nancy Drew”, Agatha Christie’s fictional spinster sleuth and the ever-evolving US amateur detective.

This has encouraged scores of women in male-dominated India to follow in her footsteps.

Several women-dominated investigative firms now operate in the country, such as Lady Detectives India and Venus Detective which are both headquartered in the capital New Delhi.

“Clients are open a lot more to having a female investigator. They feel we are more empathetic and that they can talk to us,” Lady Detectives CEO Tanya Puri told AFP.

A suitable boy

Pandit first started snooping as a 22-year-old at college, informing the parents of a fellow student that their daughter was drinking, smoking and hanging out with boys.

Her most difficult case was when she worked undercover for six months as a maid for a woman who was suspected of poisoning her husband to death and then killing her son through a hitman.

She gathered evidence and handed it over to police who arrested the hitman and the woman.

Pandit has won numerous awards, written two books, and says she has completed more than 80,000 cases — most of them pre-matrimonial investigations.

Parents in the ultra-conservative country seeking a suitable husband or wife for their offspring will ask her to investigate the potential spouse and their family.

She looks into whether they have the job they say they have and tries to find out if there is anything in their past that might be deemed to bring shame to the family they are marrying into.

Pandit has had to be the master of subterfuge to gather evidence, including donning “various disguises”. But she says she received no formal training.

“Detectives are born, not made. I will keep doing this job until I am no longer alive,” she said.

Ishqbaaz Liveblog, E3: A Really Good Premise

I finally understand the appeal of the show. It's the perfect mix of politics, family relationships with a hint of star-crossed-hate-love story. So far. It's like a darker version of Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham and I must say, it's really interesting and now I'm even more pissed that they ruined it! 

Again - another show that would've done exceedinly well had it ended a year earlier or been turned into seasons. If IPK is India's Pride and Prejudice, then Ishqbaaz could easily be India's Dynasty. 

Without further ado, here's the liveblog:

Episode 3 “A Really Good Premise”

- Wah, Shivaay has a habit of walking away! 

- Rudra, valid question that why Shivaay isn’t throwing Anika out!

- Om ka look - kuch toh hai. 

- Experience? Kamzori? 

- Dadi advice time. Lol, the advice went right over Rudra’s head. 

- Acha, Shivaay’s kamzori is his khandaan. Nafrat bhi rishta? I feel like Rudy right now! Thank God Dadi explained everything. 

- LOL, Anika being disappointed in a big party is ME! 

- HAHA LOL Anika!!!!!!!! She knows Shivaay (great) and her look. 

- Hahaha this whole dialogue is like 5 buckets of foreshadowing. There is no shadow left in foreshadow. 

- Rudy’s ghatiya shayar is kaabil e taareef. 

- Omkara’s belief system is really good - my fav bro right now. 

- Ok, each of the bros are some elements. 

- Nice chemistry/mining/mineral class?

- Shivaay is iron, Omkara is gold. LOL what is Rudy? 

- Dadi hitting Rudy for his immaturity is me - that adorable hitting is everything. 

- Ok ab tak they’ve said Ishqbaaz 25 times. 

- HAHAHAH DADI already approves Anika! Nice, we stan independent girls. Oh shit, Dadi said about the parents. Poor Anika, she wants a fam :(

- SVETLANA, TEJ, GET OUT OF MY LINE OF VISION!

- Home Minister - hello bald chacha!

- I must say, Shivaay is highly influenced (in terms of personality) by his Tej uncle. The skin level similarities are interesting to note. 

- Rudy and Om already stanning Anika. 

- Anika, don’t hold random poori without gloves #covid 

- Hahaha, hilarious miscommunication! 

- Wah, Rudy is half afraid of Anika’s tashnbaazi. OM IS SO IMPRESSED! I  am REALLY liking Anika right now! “Kha kar!” Wah, great use of puns!!!

- This Home Minister might get screwed over like Mool Rajani (I’m just searching for a Mool Rajani right now)

- Tej is dramatic AF. 

- Hahahahaha, Home Minister - you’re finding your nobility along with the coins - on the floor. 

- TEJ IS SO DRAMATIC. I like him for this! Dude can be an interesting character in the show!

- Mrs. Oberoi????? Ah ofc, the secretary. 

- POOR JHANVI - I’M WITH YOU AUNTY! I’LL POUR TEJ’S BLOOD INTO THE BUCKETS OF PAINT SHIVIKA LATER, MUCH LATER, MAKE OUT IN (that’s the blood of all the shitty people and that’s canon)

- It’s sad but true, in really rich societies people are really ok with infidelities and stuff like that. Ugh, seen these shit first hand. 

- JHANVI I’LL KILL TEJ AND SVETLANA FOR YOU. 

- TEJ - DIE! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL WIFE! 

- Pandit ji, is it possible to burn Tej and Svetlana as offerings? We still do that?

- Lo, phirse Bhaiyon ka advertisement start.

- I must say, what mast paparazzi, I love all their advertisements. From songs to outfits, these kids are like “dude let our parents crap, we’ll coordinate our entry EVERY SINGLE TIME” Squad goals, legit. 

- This is Bharat Matrimony.

- Omkara Oberoi, “mere nazar aur nazariya roshni ki tarha hai. Ya toh hai, ya nahi.” Shayar, artist, will give really good hair genes to future children.

- Rudra Oberoi, “ARRE KAB TAK JAWAANI CHUPAAOGI RAANI, MUJHE KO KITNA SATAOGI RAANI (OR NATASHA, OR SHREYA, IDC ABOUT THE NAMES) MUJHSE SH- NOPE - FLIRTING KAROGI….. OH MUJHSE FLIRTING KARO JI!” Abs. The end.

- Shivaay Singh Oberoi “Who the fuck keeps on making my accounts?” *bam goes another phone*

- Or Nirma advertisement? 

 - Dadi is like LOOK AT MY SANSKAR, that totally skipped a generation. 

- Ok the press and show remembers that Priyanka is a powerful Oberoi too. 

- Dude, leave the girl alone too. Let her breathe. 

- YES ANIKA SAVE HER! 

- Who are Priyanka’s parents? YES ANIKA, ask important questions. Poor Priyanka. Stuck in this mill of wealthy family politics and shit. Yaar paani pilao koi! 

- You know I’m really liking Anika so far!

- OH IT IS THE GANESHA OM MADE! WITH THE RED (good job Om and sorry for the previous question). 

- OK I’M WAITING FOR THE K3G SCENE. CHALO BROS EK SAATH AARTI KARO. GIVE COMPETITION TO HUM SAATH SAATH HAI! 

- DO IT, GIVE EVERYONE THE HEART ATTACK. 

- Pinky… you got married to the wrong brother. Tej and Pinky should’ve married - it would’ve been hilarious AF. 

- Aye Haye, Shivaay didn’t forget his smallest bro either.

- Ok today’s poster is Om Jai Jagdish! 

- #Feelingdharmic. 

- Shivaay’s redeeming quality is the fact that he’s a really good brother.

 - YAY K3G scene strikes!

- I’m loving the aesthetic of the show as of yet - I still have questions as to what happens later. Very cohesive writing too. Usually first twenty five episodes are (cause that holds the pitch of the show and stuff)

- Meanwhile… Tej has grinned his molars to nothing, Pinky has done 50000 eye rolls, Svetlana doing random khusur pusur and Dadi just crying tears of happiness (I’m Dadi)

- OH NO, self burning live candle dude is coming on fore. 

- Dude, kisko jalana tha 

- aur kaun jal raha hai. 

- Yeah dude, Ganesh ji punishes paapis instantly. 

- Wait are the three bros lost in puja that they don’t see—

- WTF, damn that’s scary. 

- The End -

Well well well, I’m excited to liveblog the next episode! See you tomorrow (good thing this was queued). Also, what wouldn’t I have given to see IPK in this quality camera and INITIAL aesthetics (focus on initial, I have no idea what shit happens later in this show). This HD quality main Rabba Ve = Jalebi nosebleeds.

Arlington, Virginia, U.S.A.

My first trip to Africa was working on a youth peer education program in  a remote village in Uganda. While the main focus was on HIV/AIDS prevention, the program included broader reproductive health interventions. During my time there, I developed an understanding and appreciation for how to balance specific funding priorities (and the silos they can create) with individual and community needs. Since then, I have tried to pursue and take on roles that allow me to create connections between different programs and funding streams, and to bring a systems lens to our work in family planning and reproductive health. I feel that I am in my “sweet spot” when I can use various entry points to identify solutions that is a win-win for all.
