Amod K Kanth challenges web series on Rajiv Gandhi assassination case

The lead investigating officer in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, then DIG Amod K Kanth, has challenged the makers of the Sony Liv web series The Hunt: Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case for allegedly misrepresenting critical facts in one of the country’s most sensitive political investigations.

Challenge posed by a name

The situation is ironic because there is no shortage of unique and beautiful Indian names. I believe a name should satisfy two key criteria: i) it is as unique as possible because the purpose of even having a name is to be uniquely identified and ii) the name is easy to pronounce by everyone, especially Westerners.

Difficult days ahead for Imran Khan

Instability within the country has already hit Pakistan’s financial markets. Hoping to gain popularity and stave off the challenge, Imran announced a reduction in oil prices, alongside a slew of other schemes which his government can ill afford and which are against existing agreements with the IMF. This is adding to economic uncertainty as further financial assistance from IMF may be blocked leading to Pakistan defaulting on payments.
