It was very unfortunate what happened with Delhi school teacher Uma Khurana. This time the sting has badly failed and raises the issuse of the Journalism's integrity n sincerety once again.
I agree that some of the sting operations have helped unveil some serious scams. If well used , they are invaluable tool for justice; but lately the mushrooming channels n journos have started using them just for the sake of publicity n shortly lived temptations. This cheap business raising TRPs with their Sansani kinda breaking news is very ingenuine and challenges the authenticity of journalism.
The biggest pitfall of this sting was that the girl who posed as the victim, was herself an aspiring reporter. If reporters ll start using such kinda cheap tactics to uplift their careers,,, what ll be the future of Journalism !!!
And our crazy mob,,, they take no time in reacting. They reached the school nxt morning, thrashed the teacher badly. The admistration also acted on impulse too irrationally, sacking her without any enquiry being conducted. No one even gave a chance to the poor lady to speak n explain n make her position clear. The channel CEO put all the blame on the reporters and saved his skin. The journos may get some punishment after trial of law. But will happen to the madam khurana. Thou out on bail today, would she ll ever be able to regain her lost respect? Will students ever look upon her with the same dignity? Would she be able to build up a clean n esteemed image in the minds of people again? Her reputation as a person and more as a teacher is severly damaged. Look at the horror she has developed after the infamous scandal,,,,,,, when said, "I would like to get back to teaching, but not to the same school.I ll never enter the premises there."
What else to say, the whole incidence was extremely disgraceful.
