Abstract
The nexus between crime and politics in India has been a deep rooted one, since the
genesis of the country. This notion was confirmed in the Vohra Committee Report in
1993, which found out a definitive link of criminal networks with bureaucrats,
politicians and media persons. The nexus has only deepened ever since and perhaps
become more pronounced. In 2002, the report of the National Commission to Review the
Working of the Constitution (NCRWC) further disclosed that criminals were now
seeking direct access to power by becoming legislators and ministers themselves.
