I received a phone call today by someone claiming to be from the military, the person sent me my excise sheet and footage from the motorway toll plaza of my vehicle entering the highway. He claimed that I had passed his vehcile while over speeding and that he had barely survived the crash after I had sped away. He demanded a compensation of 1.2 million. The only fact is that the date he mentioned I was out of the country. I told him to share his particulars, he then named a senior military official, claiming to be his nephew. And that he would have me picked up.
Regardless that this was scam to extort money, I understand that it’s not difficult to get details of vehicles or assets, but how come he managed to retrieve the camera footage from a motorway toll plaza, which is basically surveillance footage controlled by the government. Is the system that compromised that our data is so easily available to anyone who can buy it? Are criminals now operating in tandem with networks deep within our surveillance system? Is there any accountability at any level?
My boss - the editor - at Dawn many years ago told me that if you raise your voice and shout during an argument then the argument will be greatly weakened - compared to when you say it calmly and without the slightest bit of anger
Najam Sethi’s brutal takedown of the argument used by Indian media and in particular Rajdeep Sardesai here is a good example of that
