Abhishek Sharan is a senior crime journalist, who has spent the past twenty years roaming the gullies and mohallas of Mumbai and Delhi tracking gruesome murders, startling suicides, bomb blasts, gang wars and financial scams. He has reported from the sites of terror attacks in the national capital, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Mumbai, Bangalore and Malegaon. He has written extensively on the investigations as well as the human toll of these atrocities.
Abhishek has pursued multiple e-courses to better understand the global terror landscape, including Threat of Nuclear Terrorism (Stanford University), Terrorism and Counter-terrorism (Georgetown University) and Understanding 9/11 (Duke University).
A history graduate from Patna, Abhishek moved to Mumbai to pursue post-graduation in Advanced Media Studies from St Xavier’s College.
