Imaginary Chat

My College friend who was out of touch for quite sometime  meets me at my favorite Cafe and over Coffee and Muffins  we get chatting.

Me: Long time my friend....last I heard about you was you've retired from CBI....

Friend: Yes... I thought it best to stay 'out of touch'.... my job was such...I am now a free bird......100% retired.....

M: So Mr. Free Bird how was it...

F: You mean my job.... very interesting.... lots of hard work ....lots of travel...and lots of frustration..

M: Frustration!!!!

F: Cite an example.... about a current frustration my former colleagues face nowadays..CBI has loads of info on a UPA Minister and his Son.... but somehow seems both of them are very lucky with Courts.... despite all odds they get Bail and even permission to travel abroad...its really frustrating putting in so much work.... and returning to the Office empty handed when you feel you have a iron clad case..

M: Like its said ... if you want to do Chori make sure it runs into Billions... chota motta Chors toh earn wrath of the System....

F: Now this hullabaloo about Mallya's Travel Notice being watered down by CBI....we are also under pressure... Public... Media.....Netas..... sometimes we do overreact .... like the Detain Notice on Mallya.... I'm sure the Legal Department would have come back with.... will not stand in Court as there are no bailable or non vailable warrants against him...though I don't know the inside story....just inteliigent guessing...

M: Yup Mallya was smart... before vamoosing he was cooperating....meeting Bankers .....seemed he was interested to settle his dues with some give and take....

F: Common sense... Banks who went overboard giving him loans would also come to his aid... Banks got wind of his plans but did not approach Court to stop him....

M: After he reached London  Banks did not heed Legal Advice that he should be restrained.  British authorities in London, a year later,  red-flagged a 17.86-million pound (Rs 170 crore) transfer Mallya made to a Bank in Switzerland. It was this alert by UK Financial Intelligence Unit (UKFIU), on June 28, 2017, that was communicated to Indian Investigating Agencies that triggered the move for Mallya’s 13 Lending Banks to form a consortium and jointly move towards freezing of his assets in the UK.

F: And its CBI that's being blamed for his running  away and siphoning money....enough of Mallya ......latest development ....best thing about the Michel Extradition is the sheer alacrity with which things have moved, post Christian Michel's arrest in February 2017; RaGa

and his ilk will now start whining about political vendetta but that no longer cuts any ice with the public,which surely knows better...

M: Yes Congress Spokesmen will go red in their faces trying to show Sonia and Michel have no connection.... feather in CBI's cap......now CBI will get his custodial intorregation.... some legal twist...there is also news that post the Court Order he has gone missing....

F: Like I said we work under extreme pressure...I don't need to elaborate  on this.... we know the huge expectations India has on us....I recall I went into a depression post Bofors investigation...topic change karr yaar...

M: That poor Lady Oza who conveyed Public's request to RaGa in Bhopal is in the Dog House now...

F: Scindia and Kamalnath will blame each other ....

M: And RaGa will move on to his next bloomer....Congress ji ajjab gajjab kahani ...
