    What a Travesty of Justice. The whole country was subjected to a media overdose with Shahruk Khans son case even when he was not in possesion of any drugs. It was a Media Trial for him and Rhe Chakravarthy. We have seen all the Conspiracy theories floated by the Central Agencies in the Gold Smuggling case in Kerala and the shamefull media trial that virtually pronunced all Guilty even before the trial began. How come there is an eerie silence from the NIA and all the media agencies on the Mundra seizure. why these double standards. This is nothing but making a mockery of the Justice system.

    I am extremely doubtful about the transparency of this investigation. The enquiry and outcome for sure will be in favour of the vested interests and the patronising politicians.
