Is the Media scared of investigating Dattu ?

I had mentioned in my post 'Investigate Dattu ' that one of the persons to whom I had given the dossier containing a lot of documentary material prima facie showing large scale corruption by the present Chief Justice of India Justice Dattu, was Mr. Dhananjaya Mahapatra, a journalist in the 'Times of India'. I also emailed my post to him

In response, on May 14, 2015 Dhananjaya Mahapatra  sent me this email :

Few clarifications on Mr. Katju's mail

Just 10 days before Justice Dattu's elevation, Justice Katju had called me to his house saying he had something very important to tell. When i reached his official residence, as he was the PCI chief then, he handed me over a bunch of papers terming them as proof of alleged irregularities in land deals relating to Justice Dattu.

 He implored me to do the story immediately. I told him that stories are not done in such manner. I further told him that the documents ( in the dossier ) need to be verified at ground level, and that it would take time. Few days later he asked me to return the bunch of papers, which I did.

This is the reply I sent to Dhananjaya Mahapatra

,Dear Mr. Mahapatra

 I have seen your email. I regret to say that you have been somewhat economical of the truth.

Firstly, I telephoned you about the dossier more than a month before Dattu’s appointment as CJI, not 10 days  before.

Secondly, I did not ‘implore’ you to do the story immediately. I only requested you to get the matter investigated  because if Dattu had indeed done wrong things the matter should be made public, as a wrong person should not be made CJI.

Thirdly, you admit you had  the dossier ( not a ‘bunch of papers’ as you term it ) with you for a few days ( because you admit in your email that I asked you to return it after a few days of giving it to you ). What did you do about it in that period ? Did you attempt to verify the authenticity of the documents in that dossier ?

Fourthly, you say you returned the dossier to me. I do not recollect your returning it to me, and in fact I did not need it back as I had more copies with me.

 But let us assume your version to be correct. However, some questions still remain. Did you get a copy made of the dossier I gave you, and which you admit you kept with you for a few days ? Any enterprising journalist would do that, as it contained highly newsworthy material.

Fifthly, did you inform your superiors of this dossier, and did you show it to them ?

Sixthly, if you showed it to them, what was their response ?

 Unless you clarify these points I will regretfully have to say that you signally failed in your duty as a journalist

 Regards

 Justice Katju
