Senior Inspector Pradeep Sharma: His father wanted him to become a teacher but he became one of the most dreaded sharpshooters of the Mumbai Police. Sharma is involved in 82 encounters and his prime targets have been Chhota Rajan's key associates Vinod Matkar, Sadiq Kalia, Goa ka Tony and others of their ilk. In 1990, Sharma gunned down notorious gangsters Sadiq and Anwar in Ghatkopar, and Subash Makadwala in 1992.

Sharma belongs to 1983 batch of sub-inspectors. His daredevil approach has earned him the nickname of ‘Ravan’. According to Sharma, serving in the police force is his first job. After a brief stint with the anti-narcotics cell, Sharma was posted to the crime branch of the Mumbai Police. Sharma has developed an army of informers to stay on top of happenings in the underworld. He is now posted at DN Nagar police station.

Police inspector Vijay Salaskar: Credited with 40 encounters, mainly targeting those owing allegiance to Arun Gawli, Salaskar almost decimated the gang. According to police sources, Salaskar tracked Gawli’s key aide Sada Pawle alias Mama for more than eight months before zeroing in on him at Ghatkopar on September 26, 1997. Salaskar had trailed Pawle to Kolhapur several times but deferred the hit as he was not sure of ‘getting’ him.
