Thank God nobody said BJP or RSS is behind M S Dhoni's retirement, otherwise anything happening now a days is attributed to these two organizations only...

The Curious Case of RONALD OPUS - A Bizzare Legal Case

At the 1994 annual awards dinner given for Forensic Science, AAFS President Dr Don Harper Mills astounded his audience with the legal complications of a bizarre death.

Here is the Case:

On March 23, 1994 the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a shotgun wound to the head. Mr. Opus had jumped from the top of a ten-story building intending to commit suicide. He left a note to the effect indicating his despondency. As he fell past the ninth floor his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast passing through a window, which killed him instantly. Neither the shooter nor the deceased was aware that a safety net had been installed just below the eighth floor level to protect some building workers and that Ronald Opus would not have been able to complete his suicide the way he had planned.

"Ordinarily," Dr Mills continued, "A person, who sets out to commit suicide and ultimately succeeds, even though the mechanism might not be what he intended, is still defined as committing suicide." That Mr. Opus was shot on the way to certain death, but probably would not have been successful because of the safety net, caused the medical examiner to feel that he had a homicide on his hands.

The room on the ninth floor, where the shotgun blast emanated, was occupied by an elderly man and his wife. They were arguing vigorously and he was threatening her with a shotgun. The man was so upset that when he pulled the trigger he completely missed his wife and the pellets went through the window striking Mr. Opus. When one intends to kill subject "A" but kills subject "B" in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject "B".

When confronted with the murder charge the old man and his wife were both adamant and both said that they thought the shotgun was unloaded. The old man said it was a long standing habit to threaten his wife with the unloaded shotgun. He had no intention to murder her. Therefore the killing of Mr. Opus appeared to be an accident; that is, if the gun had been accidentally loaded.

The continuing investigation turned up a witness who saw the old couple's son loading the shotgun about six weeks prior to the fatal accident. It transpired that the old lady had cut off her son's financial support and the son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that his father would shoot his mother. Since the loader of the gun was aware of this, he was guilty of the murder even though he didn't actually pull the trigger. The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus.

Now comes the exquisite twist.

Further investigation revealed that the son was, in fact, Ronald Opus. He had become increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to engineer his mother's murder. This led him to jump off the ten-story building on March 23rd, only to be killed by a shotgun blast passing through the ninth story window. The son had actually murdered himself, so the medical examiner closed the case as a suicide.

Ashwin Nagar: Bharat Bandh: Not sure to support or not becasue Price rise is a reality pinching me

I am really against Bandhs. But when I see the rising prices uncontrollably for a long period of time, I really feel what is a way out to have the deaf government listen? As long as government in power feels comfortable and assured of winning elections, it will never give ear to you at all whatever you do. It was shameful and very disappointing to listen to Pranab Mukherjee's statement on the eve of Bharat bandh. He says, "I am not interested in who is calling a bandh or not. This much I can tell you, it is for the political parties to decide what mode of protest they wish to adopt." Completely arrogant, and shamefully indifferent. Its historic when opposition parties which are against each other are unanimous on this Bandh, and the Finance minister instead of feeling sorry and explaining his case, is totally indifferent and sounds arrogant?

The pinch of price rise is felt to one and all. I get a reasonable middle class income, despite I feel the punch. What would be happening to the poor majority lot of this country? Some congress fans argue that inflation is sign of growth and development, as is said by Shiela Dixit, that income has also increased so pay more. What an ignorant lot this is. For last two years, there have not been any pay increments in industry. Due to US slow down, the whole IT industry was shattered and the last year had seen job cut rather than pay increase, and almost all the companies throughout the industry had freezed the increment. Where is pay rise? Which pay rise Delhi Chief minister talking about?

For argument's sake, even if we consider there is a pay rise, what do you want to say? You want to offset that pay rise by increasing prices of your daily essentials? If at all there is pay rise, which should be spared in the hands of the people to raise their standard of life, to make more savings, to leave more money in their hands to buy things which they always wanted to buy.

I am against bandhs. But what to do in such situation? A deaf government. An arrogant government. How to protest? When such a big scale, united Bharat bandh doesn't impact Finance Minister, what mode of protests we should go for? Votes? Then we need to wait for five years and suffer till then? I really confused to support this Bahar Bandh or not, because price rise is really pinching me..
