Anything Under the Sun!!!

“JMM MP Mahto, 41, was killed by suspected Maoist rebels on Sunday evening near Narsingh village of Jamshedpur district, about 140 km from here. “

This news has been flashing on all the news channels from yesterday. Saw it in the newspaper today morning. Well, to be frank didn’t read the whole news story but was trying to link it to my friend. My friend and room mate is from Jamshedpur. But didn’t give much thought to it.

Later, when I met her after coming back from my uncle’s place she told me that her uncle had died, her dad’s sister’s husband and that he has been murdered. That’s when it struck to me that she was talking about Sunil Mahato. Though he’s her dad’s cousin’s husband they are a close-knit family.

The whole of Bihar and Jharkhand is protesting. But how far does all this high-tension drama go? There will be investigation and then maybe CBI probe. Will it give the desired results? Will the real perpetrators be punished? Or will it be like those scores of incidents which go unpunished every year?

Sunil Mahato leaves behind his wife and two young children-the youngest one is only a year old. So, what happens next???
