#PANDEMONIUM MOVIE TOOTHBRUSH TV#
The TV channels had been flashing the news of the arrests and searches non-stop. That was not needed though since their wives and children already knew. All of them did so, using the CBI officers’ mobile phones. They were not allowed to contact any lawyer but could call up their families and inform them of their arrest. Batra too had to undergo the ritual of being formally placed under arrest. Bundellu, Srinivasan and Sridhar had already met him.
The office of Suman Kumar, the CBI’s additional SP, is on the fourth floor. They all exchanged glances and nervous smiles. Raghunathan, former CFO of Kingfisher Airlines, and three other former executives of the defunct airline – Shailesh Borker, AC Shah and Amit Nadkarni – were also present. The CBI had picked them up from their homes in the Mumbai suburbs and brought them to its office at different times and arrested them. Batra, who had retired as a deputy managing director, was an executive director in the bank when he was handling the Kingfisher loan proposal. When Batra reached the CBI office around 10 pm, three of his former colleagues – OV Bundellu (retired deputy managing director), SKV Srinivasan (retired executive director) and RS Sridhar (a retired general manager from the bank’s project appraisal department) – greeted him at the 3rd floor office. A colleague of Batra says the CBI officers did ask him whether he would like to take his medicines along, but Batra did not catch the hint. By late evening, when the searches were complete, the officers asked Batra to accompany them to the CBI office at Plot No C-35A, Block G, Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai. The CBI SP in Mumbai, Jagroop S Gusinha – who was to later get the police medal for meritorious service – was overseeing the entire operation. The duration of the search was different at different houses. At the end of it, inventories were made listing the fixed deposit receipts of banks and bank account details, locker keys, jewellery, etc – a normal practice. A thorough search was conducted at every place. The reason was IDBI Bank’s exposure to the defunct Kingfisher Airlines of Vijay Mallya.Īround the same time, different teams of CBI officers were going through the same exercise at the apartments of four retired IDBI Bank executives at Oshiwara and Santacruz West in Mumbai, Hiranandani in Thane and Exotica Housing Complex on Golf Course Road at Gurgaon, Haryana.Īll of them were asked to keep their mobile phones, laptop and iPad on a table and not allowed to make any calls. They pressed the bell at Batra’s third-floor apartment and presented him with a search warrant. With a reputation in desperate need of redemption, we can officially say that "Pandemonium" is no more.Neighbours of BK Batra, 61, a former deputy managing director of IDBI Bank, saw him walking briskly in Sheila Raheja Park at Mumbai’s western suburb of Malad East, as he did every morning.īy the time he returned to his apartment at Raheja Residency on General AK Vaidya Marg, a few minutes’ walk from the park, a posse of CBI officers had already entered the complex. In the years since, McMahon's public image has been irreparably tarnished, and he's currently treating the behind-the-scenes leadership struggles at WWE like an episode of "Succession" with suplexes. He's spun himself into a folk hero in the eyes of many, because every documentary, behind-the-scenes video, interview, and dramatization has required the explicit approval of the man himself.Īnd heaven forbid anyone tells the truth about Vince McMahon's countless shortcomings.įor many years, John Requa and Glenn Ficarra have been attached to direct a Vince McMahon biopic called "Pandemonium." The project first picked up steam in 2017 with rumors that Bradley Cooper had been tapped to play the gruff-voiced businessman, but it's been all quiet on the cinematic squared circle for quite some time. And yet, it's impossible for any of us to know the true story behind McMahon because he's been using his power for years to shape his narrative. McMahon changed the landscape of wrestling, but he is also an unequivocally problematic figure. His influence and importance cannot be overstated, which is why it's so difficult to grapple with his legacy.
