Nazia Sayed

This is Nazia Sayed here, currently freelancing for platforms like The Quint and The Wire. I am also a writer/ content provider for OTT platforms and have also worked for Mojo Story, a channel owned by renowned journalist Barkha Dutt for over two years, covering the pandemic extensively throughout the country. I worked as a special correspondent for Mumbai Mirror and have been covering the crime beat for several years now.

Drawing from my years of research and expertise on the field, I have also co-authored Six Minutes of Terror, based on the 7/11 Mumbai train bombings by a Pakistan-based terror group. From decoding the conspiracy to gathering information about the accused, from the execution of the serial bombings to the final arrests, the book was a crucial turning point in my career.

In addition, I have also worked and contributed to The Dirty Dozen, written by Gabriel Khan and edited by acclaimed crime journalist S. Hussain Zaidi. This book chronicles the life and times of the famous hitmen of Mumbai’s underworld.
