Scoop: Murder Of A Crime Reporter In Mumbai
ABP NewsOn the morning of June 12, 2011, veteran journalist J Dey and I had planned to have tea at his Ghatkopar home. Despite not being adept at reviewing movies or web series, I felt compelled to write this piece after numerous friends from the media fraternity and the Mumbai Police sought my perspective on "Scoop", the web series based on the murder case of J Dey. As previously mentioned, the film possesses significant entertainment value, but it should not be mistaken for the true story of J Dey's murder, which caused an uproar across India in June 2011. Although the series makers claim it to be a "work of fiction" in their disclaimer, they assert in promotional media interviews that those seeking the "reality" of Dey's murder must watch it. The filmmaker subtly introduces numerous hypotheses, such as the connection between a former ATS chief and the Dawood gang, as well as Dey's intention to expose the nexus between Dawood and the Mumbai Police.
