Doctor VC's meal with MK Tevar pretty much turned into an episode of Breaking Bad: Biryani edition. Some say Dindigul is the murder capital of Tamil Nadu. So it's no wonder that the district is home to people like MK Tevar - a local don. He's played many roles in his life: from selling lottery tickets, to working at hotels, and even working as an electrician. Meeting with host Doctor VC, Mr. Tevar talks about how going to jail actually exposed him to more criminals and 'rowdies'. This is what made him join a life of crime himself.
