Shri Prakash Shukla — The 24-Year-Old Don Who took contract to Kill a CM | 2D Animation

This documentary tells the complete, fact-based story of Shri Prakash Shukla — a small-town wrestler from Gorakhpur who became one of India's most feared contract killers in the late 1990s. In just five years, Shukla went from a local akhada wrestler to a man accused of over 80 murders, including the daylight assassination of bahubali leader Virendra Pratap Shahi outside a Lucknow school and the AK-47 killing of Bihar minister Brij Bihari Prasad inside a hospital. His alleged six-crore contract to kill UP Chief Minister Kalyan Singh forced the state to form its first-ever Special Task Force — a unit that later went on to take down Mukhtar Ansari, Atiq Ahmad, and Vikas Dubey. This is the story of how one man's reign of terror rewrote policing in India. Key Topics Covered in This Video: Shukla's early life in Mamkhor village and his rise as a wrestler His first murder in 1993 and escape to Bangkok under political protection The cable TV extortion killings and Gorakhpur's railway contract wars The assassination of Virendra Pratap Shahi outside Spring Dale School, 1997 The Brij Bihari Prasad hospital killing and Kunal Rastogi kidnapping Sakshi Maharaj's explosive claim of a ₹6 crore contract on CM Kalyan Singh The formation of UP STF and "Operation Bazooka" The Sunil Shetty poster sketch, 14 SIM cards, and the final Mohan Nagar encounter Why This Story Matters: Shri Prakash Shukla's story is not just about one criminal — it's about a period when the line between crime and political power in Uttar Pradesh had almost disappeared. He forced an entire state government to invent a new kind of policing just to stop him, and that unit's legacy still shapes how India hunts its most dangerous criminals today. His story also raises uncomfortable questions about how power, patronage, and politics allowed one young man to operate with near impunity for years. It remains one of the most consequential true-crime stories in modern Indian policing history.
