Rahul Mahajan
Rahul Mahajan came into the news when his father was shot by his own brother and struggled for his life for twelve days before succumbing. Television footage showed him comforting his sister and mother and maintaining a stoic demeanour. There were rumours that Mahajan would be inducted into the BJP to follow his father's footsteps.
However, exactly a month after his father's death on June 3, 2006, Mahajan was hospitalized after an alleged cocaine overdose. His father's secretary, Bibek Maitra was also rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival. The two had imbibed a cocktail of drugs along with champagne. Mahajan recovered, but on his discharge from hospital on June 6 2006, he was arrested by the Delhi Police on charges of drug possession and consumption.
The case has become more complex because there are several different versions of what happened that night, and the fact that Apollo Hospital, where the two were admitted, said in a press conference that Mahajan's toxin screens were negative for all known drug types. An independent testing of Mahajan's blood has yielded different results, with high quantities of opiates detected in his blood sample. Apollo hospital has since changed their answer, saying that traces of barbiturates and opiates were found in his bloodstream. The forensics lab, after examining Mahajan's gastric lavage, has declared that heroin had been consumed, probably after mistaking it to be cocaine, and the Indian press has compared the incident to the movie Pulp Fiction.
In July 2006, he got engaged to Shweta Singh-Mahajan someone who he has known for 13 years. They were in flying school together in the US, and also flew for the Indian airline Jet Airways. This engagement is a little controversial in its timing, with people wondering why it was so sudden. The wedding took place on August 29 at 'Blue Sea', a marriage hall at Worli sea face in Central Mumbai near the Mahajan residence.
The marriage was reportedly on rocks for sometime with serious allegation of beating that Rahul meted out to his new wife. Shweta Mahajan filed for divorce on 13-Dec-2007. Shweta has filed for divorce on grounds of incompatibility and mutual consent of both parties. On August 1, 2008, Rahul Mahajan and his wife Shweta were granted a divorce by a Gurgaon court. District and session Judge Ramendra Jain granted them divorce after both the parties mutually agreed on the move.
After two weeks of his divorce, on August 17, 2008 Rahul joins Bigg Boss, the Indian version of ?Big Brother? a reality show aired by the TV channel named Colors.

Stating that the police were probing all possible angles, Mr. Aggarwal said: "The white powder has been sent for forensic examination. A post-mortem has been conducted on Bibek's body at the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences. The post-mortem report would confirm the exact cause of his death."

Who's been keeping up with their Indian politics lately?
Well, for those of you not quite up with the times, let me give you a brief completely (in)complete update
Pramod Mahajan, a pretty prominent BJP politican and member of the Rajya Sabha (upper house of the Indian Parlaiment) passed away about a month ago. Just last week his son, Rahul Mahajan (the ever dutiful Indian son), made his first appearance in the political realm.
Triggering speculation of his entry into active politics, late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan's son Rahul made an appearance at the venue of the party's National Executive meeting in New Delhi.
Twenty-six-year-old Rahul, who ran a television production house, has little experience at politics. Nevertheless he feels ready to follow in his father's footsteps.
"I am ready to undertake what ever task the party asks me to. I will fulfill my father's goals. I think it is the duty of every son to do that," said Rahul.
The BJP tried hard to put forward Rahul or his mother Rekha as the consensus candidate for the Rajya Sabha seat, which was once occupied by Pramod Mahajan. But the Congress played spoilsport.

Picture perfect nepotism? A little bit. But I love the twist this story takes.
Rahul Mahajan, who was admitted to Apollo Hospital here today for suspected poisoning, continues to be critical and has been put on life support system.
Rahul's condition is a "bit serious" but stable and the next 24 hours are critical for his health, Dr Nirmal Surya, his family physician, said at the hospital here. He claimed that Rahul did not show any symptom of drug overdose.
However, doctors are yet to ascertain the substance consumed by him at a late night party, attended by three unidentified persons, where his father's secretary Vivek Moitra was also present.
Moitra was brought in dead to Apollo after suspected food poisoning while Mahajan was admitted to the intensive care unit in the wee hours.
"Some toxin has affected his respiratory system. We do know what it is. It is hard to tell now," said Surya, who flew in from Mumbai after hearing about Rahul's condition.

What? Well…Into the picture steps Sahil Zaroo, 22-year-old son of a Delhi-based Kashmiri carpet dealer.
Zaroo's lawyer Aslam Gonni has alleged that Rahul Mahajan did cocaine.
According to the lawyer, Vivek Moitra, late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan's secretary, gave Sahil Rs 15,000 and directed him to a drug peddler in Delhi.
"I fell ill after tasting something," said Sahil, but added, "I was not there when Rahul fell ill."
The police have registered a case under the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
Zaroo has confirmed what the other three eyewitnesses have already told NDTV on Friday night - that Rahul Mahajan, Vivek Moitra and Sahil Zaroo himself, all did cocaine.
"Vivek spoke to dealer himself. Sahil did not know anything about it. He told Sahil to go to a particular place and give money and get something. For whatever reason, Sahil agreed and took Rs 15,000 to that man and got that thing," said Aslam Gonni, Sahil Zarru's lawyer.
Sahil, the son of a carpet dealer based in Delhi, claimed that there was an attempt to hide the truth. He demanded to know why the police was silent on the white power found in Rahul Mahajan's house.
The police say it has sent the white powder for tests but significantly the case filed by them is under the Narcotics Act. This despite the fact that Apollo hospital said their tests had revealed no cocaine in Mahajan's body.
But doctors conceded that this could have been because the tests were done too late for the Coke to show up.

Delhi, May 5 (IANS) The Supreme Court Monday dismissed the pleas of six Apollo Hospital doctors that their trial for shielding late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan's son Rahul Mahajan be stopped. A bench of Justices A.K. Mathur and Aftab Alam said it was not inclined to annul the first information report (FIR) lodged by Delhi Police in 2006 against them.
The six doctors of the Indraprastha Apollo Hospital - Anupam Sibal, Prasad Rao, Awdesh Bansal, Mukund Pandey, Ali Mohammed Ganai and Abha Gupta - are facing trial for allegedly destroying and fabricating evidence to save Rahul Mahajan from the clutches of the law after he was admitted to the hospital for drug abuse.
A late night drug binge on June 3, 2006, exactly a month after Pramod Mahajan succumbed to his injuries after he was shot at by his brother, had left the BJP leader's secretary Bibek Moitra dead and the junior Mahajan hospitalised in a serious condition.
According to the criminal case registered by police, doctors and other hospital authorities had gone overboard in their bid to save Rahul Mahajan from facing trial in the drug abuse case.
Delhi Police in its charge sheet had alleged that the doctors had played a lead role in destroying evidence and had given false information.
The charge sheet had pointed out that hospital registers were deliberately tampered with at the specific instructions of Apollo Deputy General Manager Rajji Chandru and Pramod Mahajan's aide Sudhanshu Mittal to conceal the actual time Rahul Mahajan and Moitra were admitted.
The charge sheet stated that Apollo Hospital authorities were more concerned with helping Rahul Mahajan escape the clutches of law, rather than giving him the medical aid.
The charge sheet had listed as evidence a series of press briefings by hospital authorities aimed at giving Rahul Mahajan a clean chit in the drug abuse case.

Aide Vivek Moitra dies after late night party. Three of four guests surrender, say cocaine was used.
NEW DELHI: Exactly a month after BJP leader Pramod Mahajan passed away, his son Rahul is battling for life in hospital while trusted aide Vivek Moitra is dead.
The two fell unconscious after a late-night party at Pramod Mahajan's official 7 Safdarjung Road residence. The party was attended by four others who joined the duo late at night and are believed to have procured a "white powder", suspected to have been cocaine. Police later seized a polythene packet containing the substance from the bungalow.
Three of the visitors who had decamped after Mahajan and Moitra took ill presented themselves at the Mandir Marg police station late at night. They were identified only as Rahul, Karan and Tishay. They told NDTV that cocaine and champagne were consumed at the party. They also said that Rahul Mahajan made the cocaine line on the table and used a Rs 500 note to snort it. The fourth man, Sahil, is still at large.
Mahajan and Moitra had arrived in New Delhi from Indore on Thursday evening and were to leave for Assam to immerse Pramod Mahajan's ashes in the Brahmaputra. But a few hours later, Moitra was dead while Mahajan was on a ventilator in the ICU of the Indraprastha Apollo hospital.
Moitra died before he could be admitted to hospital. Mahajan's condition was so critical that doctors could not record a pulse. Even late at night his condition was described as critical. Moitra's post-mortem was conducted at AIIMS. The preliminary report suggested death by poisoning.
Police were informed about the case by the hospital's security guards. But by the time they reached the Mahajan bungalow, servants had cleaned up the vomit on the floor and cleared away the champagne bottles and glasses, said Manish Aggrawal, additional DCP, New Delhi. Police, however, recovered two champagne bottles besides the polythene packet.team from the CBI's Central Forensic Science Laboratory also visited the spot and took fingerprint samples and traces of the white substance.
Mahajan's family and friends visited him in hospital on Friday but were not ready to consider that he could have had a drug overdose. His personal physician, Dr Nirmal Surya, who flew in from Mumbai in the afternoon, insisted the symptoms were not those resulting from a drug overdose.
Police were tight-lipped about any leads in the case. A source said the entire investigation is based on the visitors. Police have verified that they called on Moitra's cell phone before arriving at the bungalow. The men were not known to any of the servants at the bungalow.

NEW DELHI: Shell-shocked by his nephew Rahul's critical condition, Maharashtra Bharatiya Janata Party leader Gopinath Munde on Friday said it was too early to link the incident with the killing of his brother-in-law Pramod Mahajan by his younger brother Praveen.
Munde, who arrived here from Nagpur, told reporters that all the family members including Rahul's sister Poonam have been informed of Rahul's condition, which he claimed was improving.
"It is not proper to say what was the reason behind this. Now that Vivek Moitra is no more, only Rahul would be able to say what happened after he regains consciousness," Munde said when asked whether there is any link between the two incidents.
Munde, who is married with the late Mahajan's sister and was closely associated with him, said the family was going through a bad patch as it was yet to recover from the senior BJP leader's death a month back.
Munde said he was told that both Rahul and Vivek developed problems after dinner around 2:30 am. While Moitra, who was suffering from high blood pressure and diabetes died of "heart attack" around 5 am, "Rahul's condition is improving."
Asked whether Rahul's mother Rekha has been informed of the development, he said "we have told that it is a case of food poisoning and all family members are aware of it. A decision on whether ot

NEW DELHI: Shocked over Rahul Mahajan's critical condition, a steady stream of Bharatiya Janata Party leaders, including party president Rajnath Singh, on Friday visited Apollo Hospital here, where he was admitted.
Singh, party general secretary Vinay Katiyar and Delhi BJP President Harsh Vardhan were among the first visitors to the hospital, where Rahul was admitted early on Friday morning due to suspected food poisoning.
After interacting with hospital authorities, Singh said, "I am told by doctors that his condition is critical but stable."
He did not say anything on what could be the reason behind the incident. "It is a sad and unfortunate episode. The reasons could be ascertained only after a proper investigation," he added.
Katiyar said doctors have told him that it could be because of food poisoning, but the details would come out only after a detailed investigation by police and thorough examination by doctors.
Echoing similar views, Harsh Vardhan said, "Rahul is getting best treatment here."

Even if he survives, it's curtains for his political career.
Rahul Mahajan is really up against it. First, he is fighting for life at New Delhi's Apollo hospital; second, even if he survives, it's curtains for his political aspirations of carrying the legacy of his father, the late Pramod Mahajan; third, he could be slapped with a police case under the NDPS Act if cocaine samples are found in Vivek Maitra's viscera and the 'white powder', found by police at the "scene of crime", turns out to be coaciane.
Disaster struck the Mahajan family once again exactly a month after the death of Pramod Mahajan. But the sympathy wave was missing this time. Top BJP leaders actually recoiled after coming to know that Rahul might had been on cocaine and champagne on the night before he was to immerse his father's ashes in the Brahmaputra in Guwahati. Barring a visit by BJP president Rajnath Singh and Delhi unit chief Dr Harshvardhan to the hospital, party leaders chose to stay away. They considered his action "scandalous".
Doctors said the next 24 hours were going to be critical for Rahul. The police, too, were not committing anything. While they haven't confirmed whether the 'white powder' was cocaine, they haven't ruled it out either. A source said, "If samples of cocaine are found in Vivek Moitra's viscera, then Rahul could be booked under the NDPA Act for possession of drugs. It could be most damaging to him."
Eyebrows were raised when Rahul's Mumbai-based personal physician, Dr Nirmal Surya, made an appearance at the hospital. He ruled out use of banned drugs by Rahul. According to him, Rahul had been suffering from depression ever since his father's death. The condition worsened two days ago, and he had to increase dosages of anti-depression drugs and add one new medicine. He added that his prescribed drugs could never have reacted so severely, particularly with champagne, which is a mild alcohol.

Delhi Police are not making any official statement about a possible conspiracy angle to the unfortunate incident involving Rahul Mahajan and Vivek Moitra. But informally, they are talking about it, and a dozen of conspiracy theories are doing rounds in the BJP circle. There is nothing substantive in them, but they can't be ignored either. For they come from people who knew Pramod Mahajan and his family well and dealt with Moitra.
The fact that the three men disappeared after Rahul and Moitra collapsed, fuelled the conspiracy theories. BJP leaders said they were not aware of Moitra doing drugs. They had some idea of Rahul's lifestyle, but believed that he had matured after his father's death.
Did Moitra became a target for being a close confidant of Pramod Mahajan? If so, who could have wanted him out of way? Was Rahul's presence in the scene merely incidental, or he, too, was a target? Lots of questions are being raised, but so far, none has been answered.
Friends say lately he came across as media-shy, introverted.
The partying pattern of Rahul Mahajan had remarkably changed over the last couple of years, say his close acquaintances. From the swinging, flashlight-powered Page 3 circuit, he had apparently shifted to smaller and more private gatherings.
Mahajan, who had done schooling from Sion's Gyan Sadhna School before moving to Texas in the US to take pilot training, increasingly became media shy and would request reporters on the party beat not to use his photographs. He had good friends in Pooja Batra, Payal Rohatgi and Jay Sewakramani.
Actor Koena Mitra said, "I came to know Rahul after I won the Gladrags title in 2002 in Mumbai. He came across as simple and sober. I feel bad for his mother who is braving one setback after another. Of late, Rahul had become kind of reclusive, confining himself to his own core group."
Asif Bhamla, president of NCP's Bandra unit, said, "Rahul used to be a regular at my parties, but this year, he wasn't there. I partied with him many times, but never saw him doing drugs."
Salil Chaturvedi of Provogue, many of whose fashion shows Mahajan had attended, said, "Rahul was a sober guy. I have no idea if he was into drugs."
There was a time—three years ago—when Rahul seemed more into society parties. But after he shifted to London, where he lived most of the time, nothing much was heard about him. Even two years ago, when he came back to Mumbai, he would be more with his friends and private circle than go party hopping.
Earlier, Rahul's own parties would ooze glamour. Three years' ago, his birthday bash at the then Regent Hotel (now Taj Land's End) had Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Moon Moon Sen, Sonali Bendre and Mitra among others.
It was Vivek Moitra, the late Pramod Mahajan's secretary, who was seen more in the party circuit. A close friend of Moitra said, "Moitra never ever cared about the profile of a party. If a friend was hosting one, he would simply go. A jovial guy, he would always talk of machher jhol (fish curry) when talking to his friends from the east."
Moitra's favourite hangout was a plush hotel in Juhu and till recently, his regular companion would be Santacuz BJP leader Ashish Shelar.
