Past couple of days the only information that is been highlighted on mostly all news channel is The Mahajan Drug Episode.
The updates have been regular and it seems that our mainstream media is much more informed and well-versed with inside details then the Delhi and Mumbai Police put together (who are jointly handling the case).
Frankly speaking the case seems to be crystal clear as Avion sparkling bottled water. Rahul Mahajan and Bibek Maitra were victims of Drug Overdose. Now there could be many reasons within this category as well – maybe the cocaine consumed was not pure, maybe the blend of alcohol and cocaine didn’t gel well with their body system or maybe they consumed much more than they could tolerate.
But it seems that this transparent case is being complicated and messed up by everyone who is involved. Be it the Apollo Hospital doctors with regards to both the victims initially testing negative for drugs consumption, Delhi Police for their inability and delay in getting hold of the four eyewitnesses, Mahajan’s family members and close associates allegedly crying out foul play and murder conspiracy.
The only logical reason that comes to mind when you think about all the above reactions is that they all have just one agenda; to save Rahul Mahajan’s social and public status in the eyes of the Indian junta. Just couple of days before the incident, Rahul Mahajan’s intentions of stepping in the Indian Political scenario were hinted by the media. Obviously, by making it public that Rahul is a drug addict would seriously damage his political aspirations and standing in BJP party and not to forget that this disturbing incident took place barely one month after Pramod Mahajan’s demise. Where the Indian public expects the son to be in mourning phase over his dad’s unfortunate death, Mahajan Jr. was busy indulging in drugs and alcohol.
Therefore in order to do a bit of damage-control in this situation, the only solution is to confuse the case further and mis-direct Rahul Mahajan’s image from a drug-addict to a victim of political rivalry.
So in the coming days one would expect more twists and turns in the Rahul Mahajan episode, with the people involved digging in deeper in-search of answers to questions that never existed in the first place.

Ankur – Hmmm…well I don’t think regular people really care much about Rahul Mahajan per se, however this story has all the ingredients of a Bollywood masala flick..which inturn makes it an interesting to follow and read for the masses.

whether people care about Rahul Mahajan or not is immaterial. What we should care about is that the media is taking all of us, the citizens of the country on a glorious field trip and we’re letting them get away with it. If a person like Rahul Mahajan enters Indian politics, well we all know what’s going to happen to Indi in the very near future.
