In the multi crore rupee wreckage that took place in Mumbai on the night of December 8th, 2103, the police are treading very cautiously in its investigation.By reports in some newspapers the police do not want to hush up the matter or make false arrests but going by the public's reaction, police and the media are just beating around the bush because a very high profile individual is involved.
IPS officer YP Singh has clearly indicated that the driver of the ill-fated car was
none other than son of Mukesh Ambani, Akash Ambani. Even Jammu & Kashmir
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has expressed his surprise at the way police and
media are handling the case, he says, " It seems the only people who don’t
know who was driving the fancy Aston Martin are the Mumbai police"!
This is not the first time media and police actions have fallen short of the
expectations of the public, there will be countless cases if we go digging the
past, but the recent trend of people losing its faith on the impartiality of
media and actions of police is worrying. In this case, people and media are
thought to be hand in glove trying to protect the son of a big national
figure who is known to have very strong connections with political parties of
the country. The media has gone mum on covering this news much less conduct
their infamous sting operations like they did in case of saint AsaramJi Bapu.
In BapuJi's case news channels and media houses have conducted countless sting
operations and spread defamatory news in more than one occasion. Instead of
finding out the truth, it has blatantly ignored human rights and violated the
right to privacy in more than one instance. Recently the NBSA has taken offense
to how India TV presented BapuJi's Holi celebrations in Maharastra. Given such
bias in its presentations, the media has not only failed in its basic
duty to present un-opinionated news, it has also lost public's trust.
Thanks for writing this article, very well written and eye opening!
