This week has witnesses an exceptional number of successful dupes. It amazes me how people come up with the most devious schemes with innocent false starts. Once the bait is set, and the prey is caught hook, line and sink, they simply just reap the benefits.
Phoolan Devi’s killer escapes from Jail
This is a classic. It comes in the league of “Italian Job” and “Ocean’s Eleven”. His accomplices just walk in pretending to be cops, flash a piece of paper claiming to be a warrent for Rana’s apprearance in court, and simply drove him away :). This is the stuff movies should be made out of.
“Corruption Bomb” Girish joins BJP
Gotta give it to this guy, he’s got style. First he gets a major sympathy wave from the public, and the next thing you know hez cashing in on it big time. First he plants a couple of “corruption bombs” in Vindhan Sauda making a mockery of the security there. Then he gets caught, and whips up enough support to evade prosecution. Get to be hailed as the new age “Bhagat Sing” and what not. Once the platform is set, and his popularity is high enough, he jumps into politics. He is a true politician.
BSNL lost crores to a scamster
This is what I called organized scam. This guy simply buys BSNL cell connection with ISD and Conference Call facility through fake IDs and Address Proof. Next thing you know, he calls up a number in Gulf, puts them on hold, calls up a number in india, and patches the gulf call to the caller he called in india. For both the callers he called it is incoming call, so its free. The bill is charged to the BSNL phone number which is never going to be paid anyway. This was a recket they carried out successfully for god knows how long!
Man, sometimes I get a feeling, these are the guys who rule the world. They make the rules, or break them, or arm twist it and the rest simply play along, or play around.
