Timeline
Sathuvachari Varadarajan Mudaliar (9 October 1926 – 2 January 1988), also known as Vardhabhai and Vardha, was an Indian crime boss.
Varadarajan was born in Tuticorin, Tamilnadu in 1926 He moved to Mumbai in 1945.
Working as a porter at VT Station, he began his criminal life by stealing dock cargo.
Varada, as he was fondly called, was hugely popular among the poor Tamil residents in the Dharavi slums.
He used the massive Dharavi slums as a safe haven to expand his criminal activities into an underworld empire of extortion, kidnapping, contract killing, land encroachment, illegal gambling and liquor dens, manufacturing illicit liquor and bootlegging.
Varada had total control over the distribution racket of illicit liquor.
From the early 1960s to the 1980s, he was, along with Karim Lala and Haji Mastan, one of the most powerful mob bosses in Bombay.
His origin is Sathuvachari in North Arcot district of Tamil Nadu, from where his father migrated to Tuticorin to work in shipping business.
He was born in Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu.
In the early 1980s, after Haji Mastan gave up his smuggling operations and Karim Lala's Pathan gang was weakened by a split between Samad Khan and Dawood Ibrahim, Varadarajan emerged as a powerful contender in the Mumbai underworld.
Varadarajan ran a parallel judicial system within the Tamil community in his strongholds.
Starting the 1980s, police officer Y.C. Pawar targeted Varadarajan Mudaliar.
Most of his gang members were eliminated or imprisoned.
However, after the collapse of the cotton mills in Mumbai in the mid-1980s, their relevance ended.
During the period of Varadarajan's fading influence, his hugely popular Ganapathi pandal was served an eviction notice at the behest of the police in the mid-1980s.
His illegal gambling and liquor dens were closed down and finally by the end of 1983, Varadarajan was forced to abandon his underworld empire and flee from Mumbai to Tamil Nadu.
While a porter at VT Station, Varadarajan began offering food to the poor at the nearby dargah of Bismillah Shah Baba and kept the tradition up as his fortunes rose.
His opulent pandals at Matunga station during the annual Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations were quite famous and visited by celebrities.
This was also the time when most members of his gang were jailed or eliminated, forcing him to flee Bombay for Madras, where he led a retired life until his demise in January 1988, following a heart attack.
Haji Mastan brought his body to Mumbai in a chartered Indian Airlines plane for last rites as per Varda's wishes.
Many people mourned his death.
Life came to a standstill in Dharavi, Matunga and Sion Koliwada when his body was flown into the city.
Varadarajan's dear friend, Selva, was with him throughout his adult life, until his death.
A daughter, Mahalakshmi, died of suffocation in a fire at her home at age 50, along with her husband, Hemachander, in 2010 at Pattinapakkam, Chennai.
