Starting out as a painter, Shankar later began driving autorickshaws, which led him into the world of transporting illicit arrack (liquor) from coastal areas. However, his criminal enterprise expanded far beyond bootlegging. He became the uncrowned king of Thiruvanmiyur, running prostitution dens and ruling through fear and brutal violence. According to reports, Shankar and his gang committed at least six murders between 1988 and 1989.
