In the cramped, winding lanes of North-East Delhi, boys are picking up knives and country-made pistols before they ever pick up a schoolbook.
Step behind the main roads here and you find a world of the underage offender. Armed with blades and homemade firearms, they don’t just spread fear, some of them deal in death. For months, we walked these lanes, day and night, tracking down the hideouts where these stories begin. We tried to trace the pattern behind each incident, and we sought out the young people who have become part of this world.
