Twice in six months? Sure sounds fishy to me….is someone trying to assasinate him? Who could it be? And for what earthly reason? At around the time of the Reliance Petroleum (that word again!) IPO? Could his brother be some sort of scapegoat in some bizarre high powered game of oil, share dealings and power? Does the Shivani Bhatnagar episode imply a pattern, a modus operandi? Is the brother mentally ill or not?
