- RISHI RAJ

THESE ARE TIMES when headlines are filled with stories of digital-arrest scams, Jamtara-style phishing rackets and shadowy call centres preying on vulnerable people across borders.

Every smartphone notification carries both opportunity and risk, and the rise of cyber syndicates presents a reminder that even dreams of a better life can become traps. Shailendra Jha’s Press 9 for a Crime is set against this contemporary backdrop, and, therefore, feels familiar as it mirrors the reality one hears or reads about almost every day.
