On Salman Khan

I am glad someone has courage to say in this country.
Great Read - She has the guts to call a spade a spade on Salman Khan...

Delhi-based author Sqreemoyee Piu Kundu (originally from Calcutta), who unapologetically wrote an open letter of sorts on her FB page.

Here’s what she wrote:

“Just when you are impressed with justice in this country. You are bound to be disappointed. Shame on you, Salman Khan. For all your Being Human bhaigiri and your adopted sister, you are just a miserable drunk, animal hunting, woman beating, drugged out, intellectually depraved, law abusing son of a rich and famous father who cheated on his wife and now lives with his wife, and mistress. Lacking the basic moral courage to call his spoilt son a criminal.

A bunch of failed siblings all living off Salman’s reflected glory. And for the stars, socialites and fans supporting this giant asshole who should get nothing less than his full term of ten years in jail, if not more, you deserve this shithole of a nation – scams, crooks and corruption at every level.

Shame on you Harsh Salve. Selling your soul time and again, to callous celebs who wield political power and huge monetary influence, instead of using your fancy legal degree to help those in need – yes, I mean men and women and children living on the streets. For defending another crook who for the last 12 years has bastardised the system, being arrogant enough to miss most of his hearings, trying to use false witnesses and involve his poor driver Ashok Singh, buying out his loyalty.

Shame on you prosecution and Mumbai police – for not dragging back singer Kamal Khan, another giant loser with an accent, who was sitting behind Khan when he drove over the innocent pavement dwellers. How is he even allowed to leave this country when he’s a key material witness?



Shame on you Bollywood producers and directors, lining up outside the Khan residence as if there is a condolence meeting in session, ass-licking an aging star who will help you get rid of your ill begotten wealth and substandard scripts – catering to a bunch of losers who watch this trash, year, after year, after year. Earning you another 100 crores of black money borrowed from Dawood, or some other Bhai, based in Dubai, in all probability.
Shame India. These are your Heroes.

This is your judiciary.
This is your real face.

And do yourselves a favor, screw the charity theory. The he’s got a heart of gold. The million examples of how Salman Khan helps people in need. It doesn’t count when you drive drunk. Shoot a black buck. Bash up and abuse the women you love. And bribe your way to freedom after killing a man. Feeling sorry doesn’t justify what you did, or make your guilt any less.

You don’t know Salman Khan personally, you just watch his films!”
There is a different rule of law for the poor. And altogether another set of laws in India for the super rich - (better to say no rule of law.)

Has anyone heard of a simple police constable named Ravindra Patil ?

I hadn't till today.

This is his brief story....

He was an ordinary police constable aged 24 or 25 when lady luck frowned on him. At the age of 30, in a municipal hospital of Sewri (Mumbai) he died a begger .... with no relative at his side even to take the body and give a decent funeral......

What happened????

In 2002, a film actor named Salman Khan filed a complaint with the police that he had been receiving threatening calls from the underworld. The police provided him with a personal body guard - a young and honest guy named ..... yes, you guessed it ..... Constable Ravindra Patil !!!

On the day of accident (September 28, 2002), Salman Khan rammed his Toyota Landcruiser onto the steps of A1 Bakery at the turning near Mehboob Studios in Bandra, Ravindra Patil was sitting with him in the car. Salman ran away.

It was Patil who reported the matter to the police and filed the F.I.R.

Patil had confirmed in his statement that Salman was driving, and was under the influence of alcohol when the said incident took place.

That was the turning point in his life.

First came offers of huge sums of money which he turned down.

Then .... Top police officials put a lot of pressure on him to change his statement. But he would not oblige.

Many false cases were then initiated against him and other members of his family. Contantly badgered in courts by lawyers and at the workplace by his seniors .... he suffered mental breakdowns.

Because of the mental stress, he was sometimes late or even absent for work. This was enough excuse for his seniors to have him fired for dereliction of duty.

Under that state of mind, when he missed 2 court dates in the numerous court cases he was facing, he was quickly arrested and thrown in Arthur Jail and lodged not with other under-trials .... but .... with hardened criminals and serial killers.

When he moved the court to have him shifted away from the hardened criminals, his plea was quickly turned down.

On release, Patil left Mumbai to avoid constant harassment. But occasionally came to visit his family members.

His family members - who were also being harassed by the police and other goons (guess whose???) also started to pressurise him to change his statement against Salman .... but he refused. Ultimately his family also turned against him....

With no support and no work, no money, no nothing..... he was forced to start begging.... and .... as it was bound to happen .... fell very ill. Someone dumped him in a municipal hospital at Sewri.

He passed away in Sewri TB hospital on October 4, 2007 because of tuberculosis when he was around 30 years old !!!!!

No presstitute ever covered his story..... no one ever will. He had no fans ... not one !!!

WHO CARES ?????

Maybe some movie producer will some day make a movie on his life .... and maybe some SK will play his part and make millions and win a lot of fan following.


For my part.... Sorry Mr Patil ... I didn’t know about your story earlier. But now that I do, I salute you. May India be blessed with other heroes like you.

Hope some day bravehearts like you will be more honoured in this country.
