In his hotel room, he had vented rage, broken window pane, lamp, say police

motive or intent by Inquisitive on 2008-10-29 22:50:44.393891+05:30
question is: when did he acquire the weapon? did he have it on himself when he came to Mumbai?

Mumbai Police feels that killing Rahul Raj was a right thing but beating MNS goondas is not right even if they kill innocent North Indians. Shame on Mumbai Poice.

Politicians Shame. by (Dr.) B.N, Anand on 2008-10-29 12:12:11.704874+05:30
It is a pity that the politicians from Bihar are making an unnecessary hue and cry about police having killed the Patna youth in the encounter in a local Mumbai bus. It is especially sad that the youth was armed and fired indiscriminately at the pessengers in the bus. He had even declared his intention of revenge against the people of Maharashtra. Under these circumstances , when the youth did not surrender , the police had to use force to overpower him and that he was killed in the process. It is a matter of shame that these politicians always smell foul when such encounters affect their elctoral prospects, it hardly matters whether such encounters involve the minorities in Jamia Nagar or a Patna youth in Mumbai. I would not have been surprised if these politicians had charged the security forces of a fake encounter when five Pakistanis were killed in Parliament attack. Besides, who can forget the noises of the politicians when Ishrat Jahan was killed in the encounter.

Shoot Raj's goondas by arjun on 2008-10-29 04:17:24.090244+05:30
Next time Raj Thakeray's goonda actvists go on a violence spree..they too should be shot by the Maharashtra police. This will give more credibility to the Bombay police.

It is very difficult to come any conclusion,But one this is clear now,Fight begins now North vs Raj or Maharashtra,Who is main culprit:-Laloo Prasad Yadav :Lord of Northern Indian Mafia.and also Raj Thackery:Lord of MarathaI Tribal Mafia.And Indian Police forces Or IPS OR State Police forces are not bound with Indian Constitution ,they are bound with their tribal culture and acts like wage armed Or contract killer is permitted by Indian President which is bound with their mother organisation ,not our Indian Soil.Mr Rahul Raj has achieved Sahed Status. After Chandra Shekhar ,he is now become most respected "Sahed-A-Azam"

I agree with most views that Lalu or politicians from Bihar are real culprit of the shootout episode. I would say the main factor for undeveloped Bihar is cast based politics and attitude of center toward Bihar. The factors that come into play when a x/y private firm is interested to establish a factory/company are: cast based politics for job reserved for x/y cast, hafta collection by political party and slow pace of progress in govt.. These factors effect the company and until today the Bihar manus or politicians have not given much importance to change the states attitude toward development.However most people of any undeveloped state or country support development but only a couple of thugs rule the system. The common man of Bihar or Maharashtra support development and not Politics or MSN.At the end I will add the whole episode of shooting Rahul is fishy as all evidence shown on media have plenty of holes.

This is planted story, Indian police come to conclusion without any proper test. They should do the DNA/figure print test of all room an then speak. Another flaws in police or media comments is that the Rahul was shooting with a country made gun (usually no more than 4 round can be loaded). if this guy was a killer with vengeance than he would have killed one passenger after the other until his demands are met. In India human life is cheep and the police didn't even think of negotiating with Rahul. Though negotiations they would have know the real reason for Rahul to take this grave step. May be whole shooting episode was an act to show to the whole nation that north Indians are nuts. or may be the shooting was fabricated to give back Z security to Raj Thackeray. Tomorrow if a Police in UP/Delhi kills a Maharashtra with out any provocation and fabricate the news that they were nuts from Maharashtra. The media will jump in to conclusions that this killing was an act of revenge.
