The Mumbai Gang Wars refer to a series of violent conflicts between rival criminal groups in Mumbai, India, primarily during the late 20th century. These gangs, often involved in activities like drug trafficking, extortion, and smuggling, fought for control over territory and influence. Notable gangs included the Dawood Ibrahim gang and the Chhota Rajan gang, leading to significant law enforcement challenges and public safety concerns. The violence peaked in the 1990s, resulting in numerous deaths and high-profile incidents, such as the 1993 Mumbai bombings. The government responded with increased police action and anti-gang measures, aiming to restore order and reduce crime in the city.
