The 14 residents of Nehru Nagar (Delhi) had paid enough bribe to the authorities and their pockets were not deep enough to pay more.
The water hadn't come in the taps for the last seven months and when they protested, they were arrested and sent to Tihar Jail where they spent four days.
It was a story that deserved front page on papers and first lead in news channles but didn't get the due attention. CNN IBN correspondent Arunima did a good job. Though I am told NDTV's Neha had done the story earlier.

Yes, I talked to neha, ndtv.She told theat ndtv has done the stoty, three days back, before it published in TOI.Well TOI gives every day a follow up.But the real answer is awaited.Are nehru nagar fellows got the water?What is the fate of 14 residents, who got jailed in 4 IPC Dhara's.What is the fate of the locality after, taking panga with DJB.And Taruna's husband is preparing for IAS, after being in prison , is his carreer get ruined?
Well TV News channels has not done remarkably on this human right volation issue.Water is the first need, and the issue need first attntion in society.
True, Bhavya. What's the fate of locality and these people who were put behind bars. That needs to be followed up.
