The Murder and Mayhem Walk

The walk is inspired by real-life crime stories from the 1850s to the 1890s, as told in police officers' personal diaries and press articles (a sampling"Jewish housewife discovered brutally killed in her bedroom" or "A queen and her accomplices loot a jewellery store"). You will walk through places where these events occurred. The walk will also examine the incidents from a sociocultural, racial, and gender dynamic perspective. A few of the cases have yet to be resolved. You will have the opportunity to see some of Kolkata's most fascinating neighbourhoods, including Armenian Street, Ezra Street, Pollock Street, Amratolla Lane, and others.
