This evening i was reading a news link about a mysterious phone call in September 2013 to the RAW boss, just as his team was about to pull the trigger on Dawood in Pakistan. Who in the UPA government wanted Dawood to survive so that he could kill more people in India? Just as i posted that link, my friend Murali Sridharan fished out an old story that linked a young cricketer Sachin Tendulkar with the world of match fixing which in the final analysis claimed the career of Mohd Azharuddin. Like a classic Agatha Christie whodunit, there were dead bodies popping up everywhere. Cars being driven straight into buses on roads that were deserted when it all happened. But there was one name that was being bandied about in the Dawood and Sachin case - that of dealmaker and fixer extraordinaire, Sharad Pawar. Just as Dawood got a lease of life thanks to his man in the UPA govt, there was someone who erased all evidence of Sachins involvement in match-fixing thanks to his position in BCCI. But the question is that what or rather who killed Mark Victor Mascarenhas, Sachins first agent who was involved in a lot of murky deals which the young cricketer knew. It was about the millions that was being paid for telecast rights of the world cup, and the money was obviously coming from someone in Dubai who was betting big time on the matches being played. And that someone also was deciding who will be the next boss of BCCI. More importantly, only Mark died in the car accident on the Nagpur highway while three people travelling with him walked away unscathed. A few years later, the man who replaced Mark at TWI also was killed as he drove his car in the dead of the night into the back of a bus on an empty road in Mumbai. Read this 2012 article from Caravan magazine and that will tell you why BCCI is bigger and ruthless version of the Italian mafia.
