The will has been made public by the childless couple's servants after they passed away last week (with some footage of course!).

Indeed, there is nothing surprising about the hoax receiving such widespread play in the national press. For though the ‘Johann Bach’ story was outlandish, <B>it was no more so than the reports regularly put out by Indian police departments about the arrest of terrorism suspects</B>.<BR/><BR/>It is easy to laugh at the gullibility of reporters and editors in the ‘Bach’ case <B>but is our profession any less gullible when it uncritically regurgitates improbable, unverified and unverifiable details provided by the police in virtually all terrorism cases?</B> Do any of us ever stop to ask how the police is able to reveal intimate details about a suspect’s prior movements and associations within hours of arresting him? One of the country’s worst kept secrets is that the police admit to having arrested a suspect days and sometimes even weeks after first taking him into custody. During this period of custody, the suspect is worked over and only after there is nothing more to extract is his “arrest” announced to the media. More often than not, the suspect will be paraded before photographers and journalists who will faithfully note down every ‘fact’ provided to them by the police. Some of these ‘facts’ may well be true; but in accepting them at face value, that too from a source whose tendency to distort and mislead is legendary, are we really all that different from the victims of Perus Narpk?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4215466269642774873.post-61027236841383003302008-07-03T14:27:00.000+05:302008-07-03T14:27:00.000+05:30Nick Davies, author of Flat Earth News has picked ...Nick Davies, author of Flat Earth News has picked up teh story on his blog<BR/><BR/>http://www.flatearthnews.net/category/blog/indian-papers-fall-a-flat-earth-bloggerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4215466269642774873.post-40227851724019122312008-07-03T13:01:00.000+05:302008-07-03T13:01:00.000+05:30Wonderful work.
