[color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica,][background=transparent][background=transparent][size=3][b][background=transparent][url="http://www.livemint.com/Search/Link/Keyword/Soumyadipta%20Banerjee"]Soumyadipta Banerjee[/url][/background][/b][/size], an entertainment journalist who has been covering Bollywood for more than a decade, is not the kind of person who apologizes easily. His blog, [url="http://bollywoodjournalist.com/"]b[/url]ollywoodjournalist.com, has a reputation for straight-talking, sometimes abrasive, and gleefully unapologetic posts that paint a picture of Bollywood and its denizens unvarnished by PR spin doctors. (Disclosure: Banerjee and I were colleagues at a newspaper for some years, but worked in different editorial departments.)[/background]
[background=transparent]In the last week of June, Banerjee wrote two blog posts on Mumbai police constable [size=3][b][background=transparent][url="http://www.livemint.com/Search/Link/Keyword/Ravindra%20Patil"]Ravindra Patil[/url][/background][/b][/size], the prime witness in [size=3][b][background=transparent][url="http://www.livemint.com/Search/Link/Keyword/Salman%20Khan"]Salman Khan[/url][/background][/b][/size]’s 2002 hit-and-run case. For those of you who may not remember the details of a decade-old case: According to the allegations, a drunk Khan rammed his SUV into a bakery in Bandra, injuring four homeless people and killing one. Patil, who had been assigned as Khan’s body guard, was in the car with him when the mishap occurred. He died in controversial circumstances in October 2007, amid speculations that he was under immense pressure to change his testimony. His statement that the actor was drunk, and was driving despite being advised against it, is key evidence in the prosecution’s case against Khan. It was Patil’s testimony that caused a Mumbai sessions court to order, on 2 July, that Khan be tried for culpable homicide instead of the relatively lighter charge of causing death due to negligence.[/background]
[background=transparent]On 8 July, Banerjee took down both of his posts on Patil and the hit-and-run case (published on 26 and 27 June 2013) and uploaded a public apology to Khan, which says, “The last two days have been really excruciating for me. I have received a communication from Mr Salman Khan. There I have been instructed to remove two blog posts that I have written about him. Those articles have been removed from this blog. Here’s a public apology to Mr Salman Khan for writing two blog posts that he didn’t consider appropriate. I am taking a break from writing on this blog till I am in a proper frame of mind to write again. I am really .”[/background]
[background=transparent]What was the exact nature of this “communication” from Khan that made a feisty journalist withdraw his posts all of a sudden? Why were the past few days “really excruciating”? Why was he not in a “proper frame of mind”? In other words, what was going on?[/background]
[background=transparent]Since I happened to be in Mumbai last week, I wanted to meet Banerjee and get the full picture. But he sounded strangely out of sorts on the phone, and reluctant to meet or talk about it. He finally agreed to meet me “for old times’ sake” and on the condition that he would not discuss the Salman Khan apology.[/background]
[background=transparent]So I braved one of the wettest days Mumbai had seen this year, traversed half the length of the city, and made it to a coffee shop in a mall in Andheri (West). While quite a few of my other appointments got washed out, Banerjee kept his word. Two hours and several phone calls later, when he finally walked in, the first thing he said was, “I have to leave in five minutes”.[/background]
[background=transparent]He would not reveal the nature of the “communication” he had received from Khan, except to say that he felt intimidated by it. “I do feel threatened,” he said. “Wouldn’t you—if you suddenly start getting persistent calls from unknown numbers?”[/background]
[background=transparent]On being pressed, he pleaded that he was too “afraid of consequences” to say anything more, while his friends report that he has shifted his wife and five-month old baby to a “safer location”—something Banerjee would neither confirm nor contradict. One of the reasons he chose to back off, he says, was pressure from his wife and worried family members.[/background]
[background=transparent]All this seems way out of proportion for a couple of pieces about a film star on a blog that has not more than a 1,000 followers. But a member of the power elite seeking to turn the internet into a censornet is not a new phenomenon, and it is one that must be condemned and the perpetrators shamed every time it occurs.[/background]
[background=transparent]India has already had its fair share of cyber-bullies but this is the first time that a Bollywood superstar has clamped down on a film blogger.[/background]
[background=transparent]It seems like it was only yesterday that everyone was singing paeans to the “democratizing” nature of the online world. But the powerful elements of the offline world—governments, corporations, individuals (what the media likes to call “influentials”)—have lost little time in replicating the power hierarchies of the real world in the virtual one.[/background]
[background=transparent]Banerjee has since resumed blogging, and has promised that he will not stop writing about Khan. But in a new post, he insists, bizarrely enough, that he has no idea why he apologized to Khan: “Why was I required to apologize to Salman when I did nothing wrong? I am still looking for an answer to that question.” Really?[/background]
[background=transparent]Khan has made a career out of playing the little good guy bashing up the big bad guy. In the real world, as we all know, the little good guys don’t stand a chance. More often than not, they either end up likePatil—sacked and humiliated by his employer, disowned by his family, and dying a terrible death, with nobody to even claim the body—or like Banerjee, get silenced, and remain silent if they know what’s good for them.[/background][/background][/font][/color]

[b] RAVINDRA PATIL: THE DEATH OF A MESSENGER[/b]
[/color][color=#898F9C]
June 27, 2013 at 9:13am[/color][color=#333333]

In India, the testimony of the prime witness is considered the most important document in a criminal case, which often influences the final verdict.[img]https://fbcdn-photos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/1044245_490318471038064_1382358459_a.jpg[/img]In the 2002 hit-and-run case of Salman Khan, the man who found himself in the epicenter of the controversy, was the prime witness of the case — constable Ravindra Patil.

Those close to Patil admitted that he was under enormous pressure to change his statement.

There were many who wanted Patil to change his statement. They preferred that Patil maintain that Salman leaned back to listen to him seconds before he lost control of the wheel. This would mean that the accident was caused by a ‘human error’ and not because he was drunk. Some people wanted him to say that Salman was not drunk at the time of the accident.

Whatever be the case, Patil did not change his statement till the last day.

It was unclear who was putting pressure on Patil — some say they were all ‘well-wishers’ of Salman Khan from the police force while others say that those talking to Patil were Salman’s common friends from the film industry. Whoever they were, the pressure tactic seemed to be working as Patil was showing signs of a nervous break-down.

[b]Why was Ravindra Patil so vulnerable?[/b]

Patil was a constable and hence belonged to the lowest rung in the police force. He admitted numerous times that he was under pressure and he would always try to duck the media.

During 2006, when the examination of witnesses was on, Salman had hired the best lawyers in Mumbai who were all charged up to cross-examine Patil. But then, something unexpected happened. Patil just ran away one evening. His brother lodged a missing report about Patil at a local police station.
Day after day, Patil chose to skip court dates because he didn’t want to face the defence lawyer. Soon, Patil came under scrutiny of the court because he remained absent at the court hearings. The court proceedings were stuck because Patil was absent in the witness-box. It also came to light that he had run away without applying for leave.

In a strange twist of fate, a man who had actually lodged the first information report against Salman Khan now had an arrest warrant issued against him for not turning up at the court. As the judge ordered that he be arrested and produced in court, his seniors at the police force simultaneously approved that Patil be sacked from his job because he was absent from duty. His seniors chose to ignore the fact that technically Patil was ‘missing’ and not ‘absent’ according to their own records.

Nobody was interested in knowing the fact that why he had run away from his house and why the same person who was forthcoming in lodging a complaint against the Bollywood star is now trying to avoid coming to the court. Patil was never put under any witness protection programme. Instead, an arrest warrant was issued against him when he failed to appear for five consecutive court dates.

[b]Patil was sent to Arthur Road jail with hardened criminals[/b]

Like how they deal with a hardened criminal, a task force was prepared to nab Patil and find out where he was ‘hiding’. Finding him was easier than anybody had thought because Patil was not hiding anywhere. Ravindra Patil was actually staying in a small hotel in Mahabaleswar, just a few kilometres away from Mumbai. He would come to Mumbai often to meet his wife and family and in fact, not on the run from the police. It was clear that he just wanted to stay away from the Salman Khan case.

How many of you hate going to court? How many of you don’t like how witnesses are grilled in criminal cases by defence lawyers? Well, if I go by Patil’s example, then all of you should be put in jail. Believe it or not, Ravindra Patil was sent to jail because of this ‘crime’.

The special police team swooped down on him, arrested him and produced at the court, the next day. The court sent him to Arthur Road jail, the biggest jail of Mumbai where most of the high-profile criminals are lodged.
Here are pictures after Patil’s arrest post a raid at a Mahabaleshwar hotel.

Patil was a constable and hence belonged to the lowest rung in the police force. He admitted numerous times that he was under pressure and he would always try to duck the media.

In Arthur Road jail, Ravindra Patil was incarcerated in a separate cell like they would treat an armed dacoit or a serial killer. Patil submitted fervent pleas that he doesn’t want to be grouped with criminals at the Arthur Road jail but the court was in no mood to relent.

Twice, Patil filed applications saying that he is a witness and that he be held at Unit nine of the Crime Branch and twice the court ignored the application. In his applications, Patil went on record saying that he went absconding as he was mentally disturbed at the thought of being cross-examined by defence lawyers. But nobody seemed to be interested in what he was saying.

If the courts didn’t pay heed to his pleas, his employers — the Mumbai Police — seemed to be on some revenge spree. A ‘missing’ Patil suddenly became an ‘absconding’ Patil in their own files and subsequently sacked from his job. This junior-most employee in the force tried every trick in the book to convince his senior officers that he should not be sacked from his job. But nobody was ready to listen.

A witness was suddenly at the receiving end of it all. Life was dealing this grand witness blows after blows while Salman Khan delivered hits after hits at the box office.

[b]The last days of Ravindra Patil[/b]

After Patil was let out of jail, he found himself in a strange situation — his family had disowned him and the Mumbai Police was not ready to take him back. Patil didn’t know what to do — suddenly he was the victim because he saw the accident and spoke about it.

A broken man by then, Ravindra Patil went missing again.

Patil was finally discovered at the Sewri Municipal hospital in 2007. Patil was begging on the streets of Mumbai before he landed up at the hospital. The years of acute stress coupled with heavy drinking had made his body weak. Worse, he had contracted a drug-resistant tuberculosis which fast tracked him towards an inevitable end.
Patil wanted to get back in the police force but he was just a bag of bones lying on bed number 189 of ward number four on the fourth-floor of Sewri TB Municipal Hospital. His family members were not aware where he was and nobody had come to see him for a year.

Here are some pictures of Ravindra Patil, just days before his death.

Constable Ravindra Patil died on October 4, 2007.
Even after his death, there was nobody to take back his body. The friend who had admitted him to the hospital was so scared that he didn’t even inform his family. In the end, his brothers came forward to perform the last rites.
Before his death, Patil spoke to his friend expressing his wish to get back to the force again while throwing up blood on the cold floors of the Sewri Municipal hospital.
“I stood by my statement till the end, but my department did not stand by me. I want my job back, I want to survive. I want to meet the police commissioner once,” were his last words. Clearly, even God chose not to hear him.
Ravindra Patil never rested in peace.
Who is the real hero? Salman or Ravindra?
Must SHARE!! #RIP[/color]
