MURDERING HER WAY TO STARDOM - MARIA SUSAIRAJ

MURDERING HER WAY TO STARDOM – MARIA SUSAIRAJ

The Maria Susairaj case has caught the eye of the entire nation.  The Police have again showed its weaknesses not being able to present evidence in a scientific way, leading to botching up of the case.  As a result, a gruesome murder of a young man, Neeraj Grover turned out to be just a simple case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder.  

The murder of Neeraj Grover is a perfect example of the degeneration of the values in our society.  Neeraj Grover was a successful person in the field of Entertainment at an young age of around 26.  Emile Jerome was a bright student, who scored over 90% in SSC and HSC and was a bright prospect in Navy.  It was Maria Susairaj, who was a struggling actor and wanted to make a mark in the film world.  All three persons were sane, educated and mature individuals who could take their own decisions.  Maria thought Neeraj would help in reviving her film career, but that did not work out.  In a way, she put herself in a situation that called for Emile Jerome, her lover to kill Neeraj. 

The manner, in which they conspired to destroy evidence, indicates the working of a criminal mind.  I would like to ask a simple question – Even if you are in a fit of anger, normally sane persons do not go out to kill others.  If it were to happen, we could have seen murders in every next house.  Even if a murder happens by impulse, the natural reaction is fear.  The sight of a dead body with blood and gore puts off such persons.  But here, Emile and Maria did everything they could to dispose off the body and destroy evidence in a professional manner like a hardcore criminal.  

It is another matter that the Police botched up the case by not carrying out a scientific investigation.  Logically, Maria Susairaj played the victim card and proved that she is a fine actress in real life too.  Being a woman and playing the role of a victim, certainly helped Maria.  Emile Jerome came all the way to kill Neeraj to save his damsel in distress and finds him in jail for another seven years.  Look at the irony.  It was Maria Susairaj at the scene of crime before the murder, during the murder and after the murder.  She took active complicity in the destruction of evidence, for which the court convicted her for a 3 year jail sentence.  But she comes out like an acquitted person, with a free ticket to Stardom. 

So, Maria Susairaj was the ultimate beneficiary of this whole case.  Three years in jail seems to be a three year probation for impending star status for Maria, now that Ram Gopal Verma has already declared that he is going to star Maria Susairaj in his next film. 

I respect the court verdict.  The courts can give verdict, only on judging the evidences present before them.  I am not confident that the higher courts could be changing the decision of the lower court, because the same evidence is going to be presented before the higher courts by the prosecution.  Unfortunately, there are several poor undertrials who have committed offences of a lesser nature, than the above but are rotting in jail, as they cannot afford a good lawyer.  Gone are the days, when a mere visit to Police Station would raise eyebrows.  Nowadays, if you are able to market yourself well, a jail term can turn out to be a bonus also.

But Maria who was on a tour to Church, Siddhivinayak Temple and Dargah and celebrating her release from jail, would certainly know what the truth behind this is.  Her conscience will prick her throughout the life.  Nowadays, who has conscience?  I could see only thugs and hardcore criminals going to Siddhivinayak Temple nowadays.  It seems even the Gods have their eyes closed.  What was Maria Susairaj trying to portray, when she called a Media Conference.  Did she expect the people to shower bouquets on her and laud her for her release from jail ? We already had a convicted criminal Sanjay Dutt, endorsing Gandhian values via his film Munnabhai.  Now, we may see another convicted accused Maria Susairaj playing Mother Teresa.  Am I Being Too Human?
