About DCP Ramakant Kulkarni

The Marathi-language Manvat Murders is based on a chapter in Kulkarni’s book, Footprints on the Sands of Crime (2004).

Kulkarni set up the Mumbai Crime Branch and was instrumental in building its early reputation as a reliable and powerful crime-solving unit. By the time he retired as DGP in 1989, he was popularly called the Indian Sherlock Holmes. His track record in rooting out murderers and solving complex crimes has made him a popular character in Bollywood and OTT. Anurag Kashyap's 2016 thriller Raman Raghav 2.0 is based on a real-life case involving a serial killer that Kulkarni solved.

“My mother told me that Raman Raghav was the first case my father got when he was newly appointed as head of the Crime Branch. He never shared case details with family, but we read about it later in his book” said Anita Bhogle, Kulkarni’s daughter. 

Meanwhile, Kulkarni passed away on 23 March 2005, a year after his book was published.
