  Blasts and whimpers from the past

  02.10.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  As Rob recently noted, it’s been a while since we’ve written material for the site. While the break has been a good opportunity to catch my breath and get on with some other things, it’s about time I got off my all-too-skinny posterior and back into the swing of all things rehabology.com. And I thought that before I got into some more in-depth stories - or rambling ones depending on your point of view - it would be good to do a little update on a few stories I’ve blogged about in the past.

  It’s been quite a few month’s since we encountered the case that was making headlines in India, that of drug charges against Rahul Mahajan, the son of a former top BJP official. You may recall that in August of last year a charge sheet had just been filed against him, this after that fateful early morning in June when he and his father’s ex-aide, Vivek Maitra, were rushed to hospital after apparent overdoses of illegal drugs, with the latter dead on arrival. Well, a trial date has finally been set for the 21st of February, when Mahajan, who has pleaded not guilty, will face charges of illegal possession of drugs, along with abetment and criminal conspiracy. His co-accused, Sahil Zaroo, and Mahajan’s assistant, Harish Sharma, also face various drugs charges; two Nigerians who are said to have supplied the drugs in question also face charges.
