O<\/span>n December 31, 2007, the police arrested a middle-aged woman loitering near the Bangalore Interstate Bus Terminus. She was dressed in a traditional Kanjeevaram sari, flowers adorned her hair, and she wore a sweet smile. KD Kempamma, aged 45, appeared to be selling second-hand cell phones and the police had received an anonymous tip-off that there was something amiss about the woman.\n\nIndeed there was. KD Kempamma had several aliases: Jayamma, Lakshmi, Santramma, and the one which she most commonly used, Mallika. She was also a cold-blooded murderess, who had killed six women by poisoning them with cyanide and then decamped with their jewellery.\n\nThe police dubbed her as Cyanide Mallika. India\u2019s first female serial killer.\n\nShe languishes today in an anonymous prison cell in the women\u2019s barracks near Mysore, Karnataka after a court ruling in October 2013 <\/p>commuted<\/a> her death sentence to life imprisonment.\n\nI\u2019m a writer and the character of Cyanide Mallika fascinates me. It compels me more than the bored, almost predictable psychosis of Ramanna in Anurag Kashyap\u2019s Raman Raghav 2.0 or the countless male criminals in India who routinely kill out of desperation, sexual perversion, vengeance, or deranged machismo.\n\nCriminality, of course, is not gender-specific. But Cyanide Mallika\u2019s story and the reactions of disbelief that it throws up, uncover a larger myth within our social and popular culture: Women don\u2019t kill. Unless they\u2019ve been violated or abused or are trying to protect themselves or their children; they just don\u2019t kill.\n\nAnd cinema \u2013 with a whole lot of other fiction \u2013 upholds this tradition.\n\nRemember the once-soft-but-now-angry-and-self-righteous Zakhmi Aurat<\/em> of the late 1980s? The pitiful, gang-raped Phoolan went on to become the bad bandit \u2013 Phoolan Devi. Her persona unraveled on the big screen with Shekar Kapur\u2019s Bandit Queen<\/em> in the mid-1990s. Sure, these were gripping films with a strong message and they gave a reason to the audience to empathise with the woman protagonist. She was never evil for the sake of being evil. She was a goddess, channeling her inner Devi\/Kali for some sense of justice, and in this way, the audience always rooted for her victory.\n\nThe same is true for the parade of hot female knife-throwers and sword-wielders in Quentin Tarantino\u2019s Kill Bill<\/em> saga. It\u2019s a sexy, wild feminist fantasy, with tough women declaring war on the men who have wronged them. The main character, The Bride, is avenging the massacre at her very own wedding party.\n\nI remember a de-glam Charlize Theron as lesbian murderess Aileen Wuornos in the Oscar-winning crime drama Monster<\/em>. Wuornos killed seven men between 1989 and 1990 and was executed<\/a> by lethal injection in Florida State Prison in 2002. She claimed, right up to her end, that she was a victim of rape and sexual abuse and that the killings were all in self-defence. Somewhere, somehow, Monster<\/em>\u2019s Wuornos is justified. Right?\n\nCloser home, a century ago, feminist Rokeya Hossain wrote Sultana\u2019s Dream: A Feminist Utopia<\/em>. Published in The Indian Ladies\u2019 Magazine in Madras, 1905, the text spun a peaceful, but politically violent vision of the future. Here, there were no men, only women in a Planet Of The Apes<\/em> kind of setting, enjoying full power, as was their right.\n\nOf course, Sultana\u2019s Dream<\/em> \u2013 a pure, just, and crime-free universe \u2013 would have no space for Cyanide Mallika, a career criminal whose emotional journey was set within a world of sheer greed and inhumanity and nothing else.\n\nA young Mallika was married to Devraj, a tailor from a village in Karnataka. She bore three children. But domestic life was not for an ambitious Mallika. During her confession, she said she was always looking for a \u201cbetter life and material wealth\u201d. After she was accused of fraud in a local chit fund scheme, Mallika abandoned her family. She worked in a number of low-paying jobs as a maid, then as an assistant to a goldsmith, and finally realised that committing murder would be a lot more lucrative.\n\nMallika dressed piously and hung around the temple complexes on the outskirts of Bangalore and Mysore in Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. Her modus operandi was to befriend distressed women devotees. Some were childless, some faced trouble at home; some were depressed, some ill. Mallika convinced each of these women that religious \u201ccleansing\u201d would ward off negative energies. For this ritual, the women would come dressed in all their finery. After the ritual, there were given a special prasad. This prasad was laced with cyanide, and a few minutes later, the hapless victims would fall dead. Then, Mallika would take off with their cash, expensive clothes, and gold jewellery.\n

The Cyanide Mallikas and the Gavit sisters of the world are real, not a fantasy, and it\u2019s ironic that they exist, but have not become characters on celluloid.<\/blockquote>\nMallika\u2019s sixth and final victim was a rich woman called Nagaveni, and her disappearance (and death) led to the police opening an investigation to hunt the mystery temple killer. Upon Mallika\u2019s arrest, Dr Rajni, a prison psychiatrist, made a conventional observation: \u201cMost women who commit murder in India have been married off before the age of 18, and have endured bad marriages, sexual abuse, violence, and poverty.\u201d\n\nAnd yet this is only the half-truth. Cyanide Mallika admitted that she wasn\u2019t a victim of the above unfortunate circumstances. Killing and robbery was simply a means to an end.\n\nIn 1999, I co-directed a television crime series called Agnichakra<\/em>. Our first story was on the infamous child murders of Pune, Maharashtra, masterminded by two of India\u2019s most chilling female criminals, the Gavit sisters<\/a>. Seema and Renuka Gavit abducted children between the ages of one and four and used them to divert public attention while they (the two ladies) committed robberies. When the children stopped being productive, the Gavits murdered them. In this way, they killed at least five children. \n\nIn 2001, the sisters were sentenced<\/a> to death. They are the first women on death row in the country. Pronouncing the crimes as \u201cmost heinous\u201d, a Kolhapur district judge said, \u201cThe sisters seemed to have enjoyed killing the children.\u201d It seemed particularly shocking to the judge that these two women \u2013 themselves mothers \u2013 could go against their natural instinct of nurturing and protecting life, and be so brutal.\n\nAnd yet, the Cyanide Mallikas and the Gavit sisters of the world are real, not a fantasy, and it\u2019s ironic that they exist, but have not become characters on celluloid.\n\nAs a writer, I\u2019m often told to make my characters more \u201clikeable\u201d \u2013 even the characters that are \u201cbad\u201d and that do wrong. This applies particularly to female characters. There always has to be a reason \u2013 whatever reason \u2013 for empathy.\n\nRoxane Gay makes this point in her collection of essays, Bad Feminist. She writes, \u201cThe rules are different for girls. There are many instances in which an unlikeable man is billed as an anti-hero\u2026 he is interesting, dark, tormented, even when he does distasteful things\u2026 but when women are unlikeable, it becomes a point of obsession in critical conversations. We need to uncover life, in all its possibilities. An unlikeable woman may or may not arouse empathy, but the question should be: Likeable or not, is this character alive? Is she real?\u201d\n\nTo me, Mallika is real. She\u2019s compelled by the same random motivations that murderous men are. She doesn\u2019t think she needs a bigger reason or justification. Her overreaching ambition and mundane reality is more interesting to me than Raman\u2019s stylised psychopathy. I\u2019m waiting for the day we have the courage to make a Cyanide Mallika 2.0, that shows us exactly who she is, or was. I\u2019ll be the first in line to buy a ticket and a bucket of popcorn.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
