An out of print ACK #286 Thanedar Hasan Askari, an issue devoted to an idiosyncratic, apolitical police inspector in Uttar Pradesh in the 1930s. This is the whole of what the introduction to the issue has to say about him:
Sayyad Hasan Askari was born in an affluent and renowned family of Uttar Pradesh. After a brilliant record at the Police Training College, he became an instructor at the same institute. Fourteen years later he was transferred to Kanpur as a police officer. Askari distinguished himself as a man of principle. This Amar Chitra Katha brings a few episodes in the life of this extraordinary policeman
(inside front cover).

(inside front cover).
Thanedar Hasan Askari catches dacoits (the cover shows him leaping out at them from a palanquin in which he has been posing as a woman), and embarrasses his British superiors with his independence of mind. Once, to make an obscure point, he rides a horse into a courtroom. Later, he successfully practices homeopathy. He is loved by the people. Being too honest to curry favor, he retires as a lowly thanedar.
Giriraj Shah also praised him in his book Top Cops : Biographies of World’s Top Policemen (New Delhi, Cosmo, 2002, 3 Vols., 861 p., (set). ISBN 81-7755-200-7.) .

Demonoid Fan: Welcome! You are not late, link is here. :)
I generally make post late night, that's why started scheduling in this blog 1 AM IST.
The new changes are good,the blog looks really neat and classy now (not that it was ugly previously!), and it's good to see so many new "out-of-print ACK" scans.The new links and lists on the left column banner are also ideal - i'd written about that some days back, if u remember.
Keep up the good work - and i really think that this is a great hobby (passion?!) of yours, as it brings smiles to so many people.

I love this series. In first sight it looks we are harming the publisher, but personally know more than 10 persons (including me) who are interested to buy all ACK physical copies (once or with time) as this project started.
Pls check response to you earlier comment too.
Hey Apoorva..Thank you for uploading such a gr8 comic...but I am not able to download it..
error "This file is currently set to private. If this problem persists or you need further assistance, contact support."
I think this is the problem :
For free accounts, there is currently no time limit on how long uploaded files will be stored as long as you access your account (i.e. login to your account) at least once every 60 days OR at least one of your files is accessed (i.e. downloaded) every 30 days.
Please help.
Not able to download this - says that the file has been set to private. What's the point of having a link to download, when you really can't.
i am unable to download some of the older files. It says they are privae files. Please F1.
