Media Obsession with Aarushi Murder Case
article written by krishna.
Investigations Though Congress led UPA government has not succeeded to get the crucial support of its left allies on the matter of the Indo-US nuclear deal the Indian media has succeeded in testing successfully its own created ‘nuclear bomb’ Aarushi murder case for last so many days and has every time have kept the people involved with the ongoing ‘testing’. It seems from the developments as if media have discovered more than the Investigating agency. Even rumors regarding the case become the headlines of the newspapers. People have gotten knowledge of every kind of the tests done by CBI during the investigation of a case and the credit goes to media for its ‘inventive’ coverage of the investigation process.
Media For the general people there are only two topics that consume most of their time throughout the day. First is Aarushi murder case and the second is Indo-US nuclear deal. Media is presenting Aarushi murder case as it itself is investigating the case and the investigation agency is merely following the path shown by it. Every little development in the investigation is being presented in the form of a TV serial. Media has polluted the mind of common man to such an extent that if one asks the other, “ what will happen next” regarding the Indo-US nuclear deal, the later starts to predict about the possible results of Aarushi murder case investigations. It looks as if nothing important is happening in the country except the ongoing investigation in the Aarushi murder case. It is the Indian media that can make a simple person most popular even after its death.
Other Options There are many other incidents happening that are very important and should be covered with full care. There are many other issues as border disputes, militancy, internal political and social problems, international developments etc. Why Indian media is so much obsessed with Aarushi Murder case? When CBI is investigating the Case then media should do its own ‘job’. Many people have suffered a lot because of media’s unnecessary intervention into the case. It is very right that on the initiative of media the free and fare investigation process could become possible but there are many others who have not yet got justice instead of repeated efforts for years. Media should come ahead for them. Thus it will get more ‘massala’ and the people may get justice.
