The book is a classic example in the form of a long report on investigative journalism. The book looks like the tip of an iceberg of all the incidents and psyche which took place in reality, but definitely the book concise all the facts and dates in one book. An article published a couple of years back by Madhu Purnima Kishwar did jot most of the information while this book had the updated revised information for the readers in formulated chapters. The readers need to understand the restrictions author might be facing to bring forth some classified gen various reasons when Lt. Prasad Purohit asked the writer to get the necessary information from the public domain.
‘It’s Hindu Terror!’ screamed newspaper headlines, when for the first time in the country’s history an army man, Lt Col Prasad Shrikant Purohit, was arrested in connection with the September 2008 Malegaon bomb blast. Who was this person, and why was his name plastered over the front page of all newspapers? Why him of all people? Was he guilty? Was he framed? Was he a scapegoat? What happened to the family of this decorated officer while he languished in prison for nine long years as an undertrial? Lt Colonel Purohit: The Man Betrayed? attempts to answer these very questions and in the course brings to light a conspiracy that makes one shudder to even think of… Smita Mishra Ji has facts that are an eye-opener.
