Rise of Educated Women in Organized Crime Networks Across India

Educated women are increasingly taking prominent roles in organized crime across India's National Capital Region and beyond. These women often use legitimate businesses, such as beauty parlours, as fronts while maintaining active social media presences. Motivated by factors like power, money, and revenge, they operate within established criminal networks, including the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Their rise reflects broader social changes and challenges traditional perceptions of female involvement in crime.
