Of Con Men and Delusion!

I thought after NASA denied conducting any examination, Rashtrapati Bhavan denied that President Kalam appeared for any exam, when the media finally woke up and published the truth (see my related post) , this whole episode would be over. But the story doesn't seem to end, with relatives of the "whiz kid" Saurabh Singh insisting he went to London to appear for the exam.
In fact they've given copies of his "certificate" and the Presidents "congratulatory note" to rediff.

The story has taken an even more "dramatic twist", with villagers from Saurabh's village protesting and demonstrating against the government and local authorities.

Makes you wonder who's fooled whom and who's delusional. The media could have prevented this had they exposed this earlier..
