I sat glued to the television with the footage of Dawood Ibrahim's party on Ajtak where Annu Malik, Mahmood, Johnny Lever, Anil Kapur and so many Bollywood actors wer seen in the don's company.
We have seen many such videos at India TV and Star TV and I frankly feel that such long footage on news channels only glamorize Dawood and the underworld. Anyway, Nadeem's (of Nadeem-Shravan) interview was interesting on NDTV. Shekhar Gupta made him speak out.
Then the Star News expose on cops who take money for encounter in Ghaziabad, the oil mafia in Delhi (Atir Khan's interview) and the other stings. Lot of things happening and we have already lost count of stings. The barrage is such that a day later we forget everything.
