A highly charged article from "The Hindu"? Just enough charge to tickle the Hindus to ask "How about a Hindu seeking to rent/own in Muslim neighborhood?" (that it is the case doesn't support the argument that the Hindus don't prefer renting to Muslims, but alas, there is a trail of reasons for why, on both sides).

It's so sad that this girl has undergone so much and there seems to be no justice at all.

Nine years after an acid attack left Sonali Mukherjee blind in both eyes, partially deaf and melted away the skin on the skull, neck, chest and back, the 27-year-old is running penniless from pillar to post in Delhi for help from the government or permission for euthanasia.

From Dhanbad, where she was drenched with acid by three of her neighbours after having been subjected to years of sexual harassment, Ms. Mukherjee and her family abandoned their home after she started receiving threat calls from the attackers following their release from jail.

?The darkness of the night of April 2 refuses to leave our lives. Before the attack I was harassed and followed around for nearly two and a half years. Scared and frustrated, I complained to my father, who was a watchman in a mill. My father requested the boys to leave me alone, but to no avail. One night it came in the ugliest form ? acid. My younger sister was also injured in the attack but she escaped with major injuries,?? says Ms. Mukherjee

This guys has faked his certificates but reached a highly paid job in IBM. And he has also been working well. If he was working well, then why not give him a minimum punishment for lying and faking and let him continue his job?

A man, who dropped out after passing Std X, worked in top positions for Fortune 500 companies such as Hewlett Packard and IBM for several years using fake marks cards.
...
He was working as a deputy general manager at IBM and drawing a salary of 24 lakh per annum when he was arrested. His crime of using forged marks cards would have gone unnoticed if not for his wife, Latha, his relationship with whom he had recently hit turbulence. She blew his cover to the police and had him arrested.
...
With these fake marks cards, he secured his first job at Hewlett Packard (HP) as manager in 2005. He stayed at HP until 2008 and during that period, enrolled for a management course at the Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode in 2007, again using the fake marks cards.

After successfully completing the course, he changed jobs, joining Amicorp as director (Sales) and served there until 2011. In August 2011, he moved to IBM as a DGM and reportedly drew a salary of 24 lakh per annum.

Astonishingly, none of the companies where he worked managed to detect his fake certificates, despite claiming to have stringent norms in place. These companies claim to conduct background checks, yet Nandan managed to work for several years without being detected. To his tribute, Chandra Layout police, who are investigating the case, claim that Nandan?s work was a good worker and had even got pay hikes.

Wonder how come his wife did not know this forgery earlier. May be he just lied to her too about his qualifications.
