Page 3 - A movie or REALITY

On 19th January, 2007 their was a breaking news about Nusli Wadia being caught by the Dubai security officers at the airport for carrying arms in his check in baggage(http://www.ibnlive.com/news/tycoon-nusli-wadia-detained-at-dubai-airport-for-gun/31589-3.html). Now the most surprising thing was that the arms werent detected at the Mumbai airport by the Air India staff.

But are Indians really surprised by this, since we know how VIP's are treated everywhere in India. I am so sure that Mr. Wadia must have arrived 15 minutes before the take off and would have been escorted by the Air India security staff to the awaiting flight and the security check never happened and he got into trouble at the Dubai airport.

But the most surprising thing is that what started as a 'Hot Breaking News' died a very silent death. I mean, WHAT HAPPENED TO NUSLI WADIA???

The news channels which can show Prince's story for 2 days and debate about everything from Big Brother's Racism to Transgender are quite when it comes to the most important issues like breach of security at the international airport.

This only reminds me of a scene from movie 'Page 3' where a rich businessman buys the people at the newspaper and stops them from publishing his story. So how much of the 'Page 3' exists in REALITY??? and How many Bombay Dyeing ads are we going to see on news channels now???
