This Salmans killed 57 people in 10 years

July 05, 2015 11:12

"No dacoity is complete without a murder", Salman Khan told UP Police interrogators a few days ago, his matter-of-fact confession shocking even the toughest of the cops.

Salman was 16 when he committed his first murder. Ten years later, the dreaded dacoit and leader of the Rohilkhand-based Chaimar gang has shocked UP Police by "confessing" to 57 murders in 10 years.

It makes the 26-year-old, recently arrested during a robbery, India's most prolific 'serial killer' ever, second only to Behram Singh, a thug, who is said to have bludgeoned more than 150 people to death in the 19th century.
