One day. Twelve explosions. A city shaken forever.

In Black Friday, S. Hussain Zaidi meticulously chronicles the tragic events of March 12, 1993, when a series of coordinated bomb blasts rocked Mumbai (then Bombay). Drawing on years of investigative journalism, the book pieces together the planning, execution, and aftermath of the attacks.

Zaidi dives deep into:

• The role of organized crime networks

• The influence of international operatives

• The investigation process and legal proceedings

• The human cost of terror on ordinary citizens

Written in a gripping narrative style, the book reads almost like a thriller — yet every detail is rooted in documented fact. It not only exposes the underworld-politics nexus but also reflects on how the tragedy reshaped Mumbai’s security and criminal justice systems.

The book later inspired the critically acclaimed film adaptation directed by Anurag Kashyap.
