J Dey was a journalist – and I believe he studied in Fatima High School, Vidyavihar, my alma mater too!

While switching channels between Discovery and Music India..i happened to hit a news channel. They announced that the Mumbai Police has cracked the case, Chotta Rajan’s henchmen killed J Dey and the sharp shooters have been arrested from various parts of the country.

As usual they had got somebody from the police and one more person (did not pay attention)..and the very famous anchor said ‘You have said that Chotta Rajan was involved and he paid Rs 5 lakhs for the murder..but did not tell us who engaged Chotta Rajan’.

Mr. Police what are you hiding from us? (in what is now established as the sickeningly shrill anchor voice..).

Amazing..does the media expect the investigation to go on in broad media glare? Or do they expect C Rajan to show them a contract signed for Rs. 20 lakhs with 3 witnesses, signed on a stamp paper deal. Surely if they do that media is likely to do a story on how it is inadequately stamped!!

So happy with my decision to watch Discovery, Music India, BBC entertainment, animal planet, and national geographic! Whale wars are better than the shrill screaming noise channels…who think that the country should be run out of the studios (P Chidambaram’s words, not mine!)…
