India in bad company


India is in bad company when it comes to corruption. This is according to the data from 2010. With all the scams that has come to fore in recent times, we will be excelling in this department. Shame to our politicians and our people who now treat this as a necessary evil - and even accept it. That's becoming the culture, sadly.

Mystery behind the botch-up

Arushi got murdered in her room. That is clear. Her parents were asleep in the other bedroom. That is also clear. The blundering police messed up the clues. That is also clear. Every channel of the media had their own heroes and villains within a week of the murder. The public had it's share of vicarious titillations as provided by the media stories, and "re-constructions". 

With each utterances of the bumbling, rustic investigators, a new conclusion was drawn. After 2 teams of from the famous UP Police brought up a new murderer every week, it was taken over by the famed CBI who also went along for the ride - giving our 400 odd channels many hours of software.

Ultimately, the CBI throws up it's hand saying they don't have any clues to convict anyone - which by popular perception now means it was a closed door affair, so the parents are responsible! And so, the court decides to charge them with murdering their daughter. 


Whatever happens, the media is willing to throw up their own stories - but, the truth will never be known - unless we get some new professional investigators in the next generation! Click below to read the mystery - without the end last paragraph!
