Last week, I watched the Carlson Tucker interview with Suchir Balaji's mother.
After the cooling off period also, my mind is NUMB at the travesty of justice happening here.
To be named a material witness but be provided NO Protection at all.
To be killed the night he returned from a holiday.
To have a wig at the crime scene and not even bother to examine it.
If he shot himself at one spot, why is there blood at multiple spots?
And I tend to agree with her - Suchir was not threatening someone's business. The punishment for that would be not having a job in the industry.
When our young professionals hear the stories of whistleblowers, they hear imprisonment in a single embassy for years, death, and at the very least, a transfer order. Just once, I would like them to hear a story that ends with success. So they learn to speak up.
