Watched Indian movie "Bandit Queen" yesterday, that was a really hard movie to watch!  It was about the famous female bandit Phoolan Devi. She was a bandit from Chambal back in the 80s. Chambal had a huge problem with bandits/dakkus back in the 70s/80s. She was like the most wanted woman in India. Her fame had even reached as far as Punjab back in those days.

I read her autobiography from the library as a kid when I was around 9 or 10 years old, that book definitely was not for kids! but I found her really fascinating and the whole dakku culture! lol

If you're interested the movie is on youtube "bandit queen"  the channel DRJ Records Live has the full version with English subtitles. 

But the movie is only for adults not for kids, it has some very bad language, torture and rape scenes, nudity etc    

Its a true story.

If the swearing is ignored, The Departed (2006) is a good watch if you enjoy crime/'thriller' type movies. Django unchained is good too

@GurjantGnosticyou seen this - main characters are 'Irish'

According to a lot of mobsters Frank Sheeran did not kill Jimmy Hoffa.

FBI agents have searched a plot of land in the US state of New Jersey after a deathbed confession renewed hope of solving union boss Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance 50 years ago.

For decades, Hoffa was one of America's most powerful labour organisers.

But in 1975 he suddenly disappeared, and his body has never been recovered.

Investigators recently received a tip that a former worker on a landfill site in Jersey City had said that his father told him he had buried Hoffa's body.

His disappearance had long been linked with the American Mafia, with whom Hoffa had a turbulent relationship.

According to the New York Times, landfill worker Frank Cappola, who died in March 2020, told a friend that his father had confessed to him that he had been ordered by a gang of unidentified men to bury Hoffa's body underground in a steel drum.

Agents bearing search warrants arrived at a former landfill site and conducted a survey on 25 and 26 October. A spokesperson for the FBI told the newspaper that data was currently being analysed.

Hoffa was born in the tiny city of Brazil, Indiana in February 1913, and by 1957 had become one of the most powerful union leaders in the country after taking charge of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.

Throughout his time in charge of the union, Hoffa was frequently accused of association with the American mafia and organised crime.

Robert Kennedy, as attorney general under his brother President John F. Kennedy, tried to convict him for a variety of offences during his time in office and formed a "Get Hoffa" unit of prosecutors to take action against his activities.

Kennedy's efforts finally paid off when Hoffa was convicted of jury tampering in 1967, but he was later released by President Nixon in 1971 as part of a deal that forced him to step down from the teamsters leadership.

By summer 1975, Hoffa had lost his once considerable power and his friendship with the New Jersey Mafia boss Anthony Provenzano, nicknamed "Tony Pro", had soured badly.

He disappeared on 30 July 1975 after travelling to Michigan to meet the mobster. Ever since, his story - told in the 2019 film the Irishman - has fascinated investigators.

There have been several failed searches for Hoffa's body over the years. In Michigan, where Hoffa was last seen, investigators have searched many sites, from a farm to beneath a swimming pool.

And in New Jersey, an urban legend has long claimed that Hoffa's remains were buried under the old New York Giants football stadium.
