He is strong like the Superman, fast like the Flash, and carriesheartache like the Batman. But he is neither alien, nor a result of a science experiment, and does not even carry hi-fi gadgets. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/dec/Satya-Police.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 671px;" /> He is a police inspector, who never takes off his cap, fights with his boomerang and derives super strength from truth. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/dec/satya-police.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 461px; border-width: 2px; border-style: solid;" /> Meet Satya Police aka Inspector Satyajit Bhargava, the newest Indian superhero on the block. Created by Mohit Srivastava, an animator-turned comic book writer, Satya Police is the first comic book, published under the grant for unpublished work started by Comic Con in 2012. After a year-and-half, Satya Police, is now available at comic bookstores. Why the delay? The author grew up reading comic books from Raj Comics, and idolising Frank Miller at a later stage. So, Making his own comic book was always a dream. Hence, when Satya Police came up, he took liberties to make it as good as he could. &ldquo;I put aside a lot of stuff. We created four drafts of the story and explored three different artworks before selecting this version. Hopefully, the next book will be easier to make,&rdquo; he adds. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/dec/Mohit-Srivastava.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 555px;" /> Mohit Srivastava The inspiration Having grown up in Lucknow, where corruption is common, Srivastava says the idea of Satya Police was always at the back of his mind. &ldquo;I have seen people angry and frustrated with the police in Lucknow. But I didn&rsquo;t want to talk about the bad things. Instead, I created a police officer who is everything the real ones aren&rsquo;t,&rdquo; he reveals. The author says that it was difficult to draw a character like Satya Police, and so he worked extra hard to create the main character. &ldquo;He has a strong body, is an introvert, and is filled with rage. He is a surreal character with elements like white shadow that is unaffected by bullets. He is scary, but at the same time the only hope against crime,&rdquo; he adds. Srivastava has finished work on two more chapters of Satya Police, and hopes to release these in 2014, as work on the fourth chapter continues.u00a0
