Corruption : From Raj to Rafale 2 – The Thug of Bombay


EVERY scandal needs a villain, rather a hero-turned-rogue. In fact, what a scintillating scam requires is an anti-hero, who combines the traits of an idol and a scoundrel. The Securities Scam of the early 1990s had Harshad Mehta. In the 1950s, another stock-speculator, Haridas Mundhra defrauded the state-owned LIC. Sanjay Gandhi, and his brother, Rajiv, were involved in the Maruti Scandal and Bofors Bribes, respectively. In recent times, Nirav Modi engineered the Punjab National Bank swindle.
