Book Summary

Black Friday by S. Hussain Zaidi is a gripping account of the 1993 Bombay bomb blasts, one of the deadliest terror attacks in Indian history. The book offers a meticulously researched and fast-paced narrative of the events leading up to the blasts, the attacks themselves, and the extensive investigation that followed. On March 12, 1993, a series of 13 coordinated explosions rocked Mumbai (then Bombay), killing over 250 people and injuring hundreds more.

Zaidi reconstructs the conspiracy behind the attacks, allegedly masterminded by Dawood Ibrahim and his D-Company, with support from other underworld figures and Pakistan’s ISI. The book draws on police files, court records, and extensive interviews with investigators, law enforcement officers, and insiders to shed light on the complex web of communal tension, organized crime, and political fallout that shaped the tragedy.

Black Friday is more than a true crime story—it’s a chilling chronicle of how organized crime, religious extremism, and systemic failure converged to unleash terror on a city. It was later adapted into a critically acclaimed film directed by Anurag Kashyap.
