Ex. IB officer R.N. Kulkarni’s death shrouded in a mystery


S.M Mushrif is former Inspector General of Police, Maharashtra.

His comment:

"R.N. Kulkarni, Ex. IB officer, who worked in IB for 35 years was killed purportedly in a motor accident on 4 Nov. 2022 in Mysore. Mr. Kulkarni was on an evening walk. Seeing a speeding car approaching him, he stepped aside and avoided the car. But the car came back and gave him a heavy knock, tossing him in the air and he was killed. The car was without a number-plate "

"Initially, it was reported that it could be a hadiwork of Jihadis, as he had written a book “Fact of Terrorism in India.” But soon this theory was changed and OpIndia publicized a different story. It was reported that Mr. Kulkarni had a serious dispute with his neighbour over an illegal construction and the latter’s goons had been following him for quite some time. As the neighbour was thus, seriously suspected, he and his two sons were arrested by the police. The police commissioner, however, clarified that the police have been exploring all possible angles."

"In fact, Mr. R.N. Kulkarni had a stiff and long standing animosity with the IB. He had written a book ‘Sin of National Conscience’ criticizing the working of the intelligence agency. He had also filed a petition in Karnataka High Court, Bangalore (PIL Civil No. 16075/2011) seeking clarification about IB’s legal status. But that was dismissed and he filed a Special Leave petition in the Supreme Court. That was also dismissed and ultimately he filed a review petition which was also eventually dismissed on 12 July 2016 by the bench comprising J. Dipak Mishra and J. Shiva Kirti Singh. But it appears he had not given up and had been staking the IB."

Helen Mirren once said: Before you argue with someone, ask yourself.......

Helen Mirren once said: Before you argue with someone, ask yourself, is that person even mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective. Because if not, there's absolutely no point. Not every argument is worth your energy. Sometimes, no matter how clearly you express yourself, the other person isn’t listening to understand—they’re listening to react. They’re stuck in their own perspective, unwilling to consider another viewpoint, and engaging with them only drains you. There’s a difference between a healthy discussion and a pointless debate. A conversation with someone who is open-minded, who values growth and understanding, can be enlightening—even if you don’t agree. But trying to reason with someone who refuses to see beyond their own beliefs? That’s like talking to a wall. No matter how much logic or truth you present, they will twist, deflect, or dismiss your words, not because you’re wrong, but because they’re unwilling to see another side. Maturity is...

EXPLAINING THE PREAMBLE OF THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION

Thanks Hari Singh Shekhawat for EXPLAINING THE PREAMBLE OF THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION: Given the detailed nature of the Constitution of India, the Preamble serves a vital role in capturing the essence of the Constitution.
