‘Sunil Gupta was a jailer with a soul – and a degree. Not many of those in Tihar Jail. Doubleagents, murderers and psychopaths, hitmen, terrorists and even the innocent, he walked them to the gallows. Black Warrant is his raucous memoir and a scandalous recollection of three decades of high crimes and misdemeanours. It is also a searing critique of a broken system.’

‘Black Warrant opens up a closed world which cannot be “seen” without this kind of descriptive first-hand account. Sunil Gupta was the most conscientious team member during my responsibilities as Inspector General Tihar Prisons in 1993–95. He has ably teamed up with Sunetra Choudhury to bring it all out in the public domain.’
