Mystery in Rajiv Dixit’s Death
Rajiv Dixit was a social activist till 30th November 2010 when he passed away. If you consider the politics of the modern era, you will be killed for speaking the truth and so happened with him. He spoke on issues such as liberalization, globalization, and privatization and drew equations of them with modern-day colonialism. He knew that 80% of the taxes that the commoners pay are used for filling the stomachs of politicians and bureaucrats with the remaining 20% for developmental purposes of people and the country. He was very active in protesting for farmers’ rights.
He died in 2010 for cardiac arrest, but interestingly no post-mortem was done. His body became blue-black which indicated, but no satisfactory proof was found. Even, the whole of the media industry remained silent in this case.
Rizwanur Rahman
A mid-class graphics designer who loved and married Priyanka Todi, the daughter of the famous industrialist Ashok Todi - all are now past. The problem arose when Father Todi got to know about their marriage and compelled him to send Priyanka to her father’s home. Being highly disappointed and ashamed of their relationship, Ashok Todi tried to separate them and did not allow Priyanka to speak to her husband, Rizwanur.
The news spread like a bonfire when on 21st September 2007, Rizwanur’s body was found from a railway track of Kolkata. The incident was covered by higher authorities with a tag of suicide but took an honest turn with police and media interference.
In May 2010, the Kolkata High court declared the case as a murder and not a suicide. From now to then, investigations are still under process.
Apart from these murder stories, there are many more which Indians have seen, heard, or some have witnessed. In some cases, the criminals got life imprisonment while others stayed unsolved.
It will be a great day when all injustice is punished according to the constitution and justice prevails despite the criminals belonging from powerful or influential backgrounds.
