In September 2011, the double murder of gangsters Raju Pargai and Amit Arya shook the Indian state of Uttarakhand. Pargai, who was becoming a national security threat by smuggling weapons into India, had quickly risen in the criminal ranks—but that also made him a target for Indian intelligence agencies, which ordered the covert assassin known as "Agent Lima" to eliminate him. The day after the murder, Laxman "Lucky" Bisht—an NSG commando who had served as a personal security officer for politicians such as L.K. Advani and then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi—was arrested from his home in Haldwani, accused of the double homicide. What followed was a tale of mystery and suspense. Was Agent Lima and Lucky Bisht the same person? And if not, why did Lucky Bisht spend more than five years in prison, transported from jail to jail, with his bail application repeatedly denied, if he was working for the government? Master thriller writer S. Hussain Zaidi presents a gripping narrative of intrigue and deceit in R.A.W. Hitman: The Real Story of Agent Lima. Based on true events, this book keeps readers on edge until the final page.
