How did the rape and murder of a young girl transform a rule-obsessed officer to take on a more humane approach? Why did people start calling him Singham just a few years into his policing career? What is it that made a shy, simple village boy dedicate himself to a lifetime of commitment towards public service?

Stepping Beyond Khaki: Revelations of a Real-Life Singham is a tell-all memoir by celebrated former police officer K. Annamalai.
