Tacit Retraction?

“Ashok Todi in his recorded statement to the CBI has recounted how after meeting Gyanwant Singh (then deputy commissioner of police, headquarters) on September 4, he was resigned to his daughter not returning home, when he got a feeler from Pappu.”
This is from
How deals were struck behind Rizwanur’s back – Who got cash & how [...]

Letters

trying to understand this myself: there are too many mention of letters and replies, late or otherwise; this one is from Rizwan and Priyanka:
dated 3/9/07, addressed to DCDD, received by his office, CC to Commissioner of Police, AC, ARS, DC Spl, DC South, OC, Karaya PS.
NO MENTION OF DC HQ
and this is [...]

Celebrating Pasolini… :)

 

Meanwhile, a Calcutta High Court lawyer today lodged a complaint with the CBI against five Kolkata Police officers, including its former commissioner, Mr Prasun Mukherjee, for disregarding a 2006 verdict of the Supreme Court which enjoins upon civil servants not to interfere with any intercaste and inter-religious marriages.
“The five police officers are guilty under Section [...]

Gyanwant Singh: life is here indeed

i’ve been wondering, that FAQ entry of mine contained a question which is pretty significant:

7) Brilliant! So how come no body else noticed all this?thank you. i dont know. i intend to find out.
…
was that sarcasm btw?
i think i have found out.
the public has not noticed because they are too emotional right now, and that [...]

Gyanwant: an alternative analysis

I have been fortunate on two counts:
first, Sujato da has taken me seriously enough to reply to my mail which contained a proposed text for this post, and
second, he has also permitted me to put in here the text of his reply to me.
I have omitted the last few lines which i shall summarize, and [...]

one liner…or two…

noticed how they have managed to dramatize the incident on tv? rotating pics of the two as some kind of symbol, a story telling mood everywhere: everyone’s cashing in on this death of his, and in so blatant a way as to forget to pay the minimum respect either. the ‘episodes’ are less documentary and [...]

VINDICATED – the beginning

Today’s report on NDTV about Riz’s account shows clearly what i have pointed out earlier: the media in general has sensationalized the story without probing into Gyanwant’s role. Turns out he did not even meet Rizwanur.
I ask u: is there or is there not a difference between calling someone to Lalbazar and their coming over [...]

Gyanwant Singh: some interesting facts

Just watched a TV report on Sukanti – his achievements in coercion and harassment… if not for anything else, the CP should be relieved of his duties for even thinking of promoting a criminal like him.
No one has been too interested in Singh – apart from constantly referring to him as the one of the [...]

FAQ

of course, no one has really asked me anything frequently, but from comments and observations, i suspect my posts appear a little confusing to most. and neither do they lend themselves to quick scrolling. so here goes:
1) Why do i appear less focussed on Rizwanur?
because there is hardly anything i can do about the victim: [...]

the analysis…?

ok. lets see… election around the corner, and Muslim boy gets killed / dies. not the most favourable situation for the ruling party. pls note the Muslim part. i think we can safely rule out official left party involvement here. or even unofficial.
why am i doing this by the way? because i am a smart@$$. [...]
