BENGALURU: Journalist Ravi Belagere (60) became a household name with his unique and engaging style of writing. His tabloid ‘Hai Bangalore’, started in 1995 and published from his Padmanabhanagar office in the city, was once the most read. Belagere’s column ‘Paapigala Lokadalli’, a series on the Bengaluru underworld opened up the dark world to the public like never before.
The popularity of the column prompted him to bring out a book in the same name in two parts, which were also best sellers. His another book D-Company on Dawood Ibrahim chronicles his attempts to meet the latter and his conversations with former underworld don Muthappa Rai. From police officers to politicians, writers to wrestlers, celebrities to singers, scandals and scams, underworld, crime, sports, literature, the tabloid covered everything.
Apart from publishing his own tabloid, he tried his hand in television and silver screen. Crime Diary, episodes of crimes narrated in Belagere’s voice aired on a private channel, was one of the very first crime programmes for the Kannada audience. He even headed a private television channel owned by mining barons but quit soon.
