EK HI 'SAHARA': A Giant-Sized Figure Who At One Time Grew To Become One Of The Most Powerful Indians But Ended Up Losing All His Fame

Tale Of Subrata Roy, 'Mr. Sahara': You have probably heard Subrata Roy's tale of seemingly rags to riches many times. Roy began with a meager sum of Rs. 2,000 in 1978 and quickly rose to new heights. A larger-than-life figure, Subrata Roy, was in charge of Sahara. As the second-largest employer in India, Roy played a key role in the development of one of the most powerful economic empires. When the allegations of Sahara fund mismanagement, worth Rs. 24,000 crore, were revealed, all of his fame was lost. A jury sent Subrata Roy to judicial custody in Tihar Jail. In 2017, he was released on parole.
