New Delhi, April 03: There was a time when locals of the coastal town of Porbandar in Gujarat claimed that blood came out of taps instead of water in the house of former gangster Santokben Jadeja alias ‘godmother’.
This is why some found it hard to believe that 62-year-old Santokben died an ordinary death, rather than a fatal attack on her life, as most had expected her end to be.
She died of cardiac arrest on March 31.
Politicians and policemen who knew her describe the once-feared gang leader as a determined woman who took up arms to defend her children after her husband Sarman Munjha was killed by rival gang members in the early 80s.
