Pramod Mahajan was in the hospital. His brother Praveen pumped bullets in his stomach from point blank range. But several hours after he was admitted in the hospital and the operation was going on, most of the channels claimed that the bullets had been taken out.
Meanwhile, the correspondents of India TV (Rajat Sharma) remained firm that the bullets were not taken out. The anchor tried to grill the reporter if their reports were correct and latest because other channels claimed otherwise. And it was laudable how the reporter made his point.
A few hours later all other channels had to retract and said that yes the bullets were still in.
The big names like Jitendra Dixit of Star TV and other journos of Ajtak, NDTV India and English channels were exposed--they were just going by the hearsay and had no sources. The Crime Reporters, Saiyadain Zaidi and Wahid Ali Khan of India TV need to be praised for their groundwork and contacts as shown throughout the day in their reporting.
