How Baljeet Parmar Linked Sanjay Dutt to the Underworld | The Quint

Veteran crime reporter Baljeet Parmar may have broken bread with the likes of Haji Mastan and Dawood Ibrahim, but he was an imperative link in the 1993 Mumbai Serial Blast case. It was his astute observation that eventually led to him break the story of Sanjay Dutt’s involvement in the same.

[@nuclear9977]

@@newsjunkieish Hmm I am following Baljeet sir since past 1 year and his stories, connections and fearless journalism is a rare occurrence now. Aajkal every single journalist has picked a side either left or right wing. Everyone is trying to make money by becoming an advocate of their wing rather than reporting facts.

[@newsjunkieish]

@@nuclear9977 How will someone make money by aligning to the Left? Unke to apne paas paise nahi hai election jeetne ke bhi 😂? Jeetne wali party ke paas paisa hota hai. I can say this much for Ravish that he never sucked up to the UPA govt even Congress was in power. These days journalism is divided in Left and Right camps. But in a way it is also good, because you know which mindset the said reporter is coming from. Old style journalism said you tried to be as unbiased as possible and stick to facts. Even overseas reporters and publications make full disclosure about which party they follow. Here you will end up in serious trouble of you try to do honest journalism. That's why the journalism industry is 80 per cent gone as of now.

[@ashwinwriter]

Thank you Baljeet Sir for being fearless and honest journalist. Your persona is enough to create an image of a clean journalist. I feel being a responsible citizen is perhaps more important than being good at heart, there has been too much glorification of Sanjay being good at heart, it serves absolutely no purpose. Had he been responsible it would have saved many lives. Further, Sunil Dutt Ji, no matter how good he was a politician but he failed to see under his nose what was developing and had he really spent some quality time in Sanjay's early days, this would never have happend. We need responsible citizens first, and if that comes with a good heart even better. Thank you Quint for this!

[@SandeepSingh-xg6sz]

The thing is that in that days bollywood was connected to underworld.. Even sunil dutt accepted it for having relation with mastan. But relation doesnt mean sanjay is involving in bombay.. Sanjay explained after 1992 riots he got ak 56 from his friends or producers just to protect his family just in case mob attacks his home. So having ak 56 is crime but it doesnt involve sanju in bombing

[@tenrocks007]

This shows the mentality of the majority of the population who admire Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan !!

[@vijnad18]

Baljeet Parmar who had returned from UK, got a second lease as a "crime reporter" with this story... his "story" planted on him by the police in the first place, gave a breather to the mumbai police which was under fire for the "blasts" ... sanjay Dutt was prosecuted for years just because there was a presumption, that the blasts could have been avoided, if he had "confessed" of possessing the weapon. That still doesnot make him a "terrorist".

[@AkashVora]

This vid doesn't explain how he concluded the connection of Dutt and underworld. It just mentions what he printed

[@shariqhasankhan]

He clearly said there were 6 MPs from Mumbai at that time...and when the police officer (Mr. Patnaik) said ki abhi arrest nahi kiya hai kyonki shooting ke liye baahar gaya hua hai..he put 2 and 2 together and figured out the person who is an actor and also son of an MP must be Sanjay Dutt

Waise jo bhi log yeh keh rahe hai ke sanju movie banayi because sanjay dutt ki image clean karni thi for munnabhai 3, bhailog ek baat batao agar sanju nahi banti toh kya tumlog munnabhai 3 nahi dekhte? Ofcourse sab hi dekhte! We dont watch munnabhai for sanjay dutt alone, its the characters, the plot, the setting, the humor and so many other things drive us. Actor ki image ke basis pe log film dekhte india me toh salman khan ki koi film hit hi nahi hoti, on the contrary uske faltu films bhi crores ka business kar leti hai. So the point is indian audience wouldn't need a cleanup to make them watch munnabhai anyway. And waise bhi munnabhai 1 & 2 were superhits tab bhi sanjay dutt had the same criminal image. Infact agar tab woh films hit hui fir abhi toh sazaa bhi katke aya hai, ab toh he was in the least need of cleaning any image whatsoever! Sanju movie was simply made to sell tickets much like any other movie, koi sach saamne laane ka irada kuch nai tha, documentary banane nahi wale the it was just a feature film and even hirani did not promise about brining out any truth. He had simply said we are bringing dutt's side of the stories to the screen. And that they did. Judiciary ne apna kaam kiya, Audience ne movie enjoy kar li, dutt ne apni side pesh kar di, hirani ne paise kama liye, sab apna kaam kar liye aur hum bekaar me isme koi hidden agenda ya conspiracy talaashte baithe hai. Chill maaro dosto!
