My response: As per unwritten and practiced policy, "Barfi and Café Centrals Samosas" are not allowed to be served in police custody except Biryani and that too only by Congress CM! As per official guidelines, persons in police custody must be served the food provided by government authority (as a precautionary measure against possible poisoning through outside food). To serve outside food in police custody prior permission from the specified authority(ies) must be taken. And Digu being Congress CM the required permission(s) for serving Biryani to Mick must have dashed the concerned police station much before Digu could arrive with Biryani for Micky. Secondly, what's wrong in Digu personally serving Biryani to Micky even on daily basis? After all they are thick friends! By serving Biryani Digu has kept up to the famous saying "friend in need is a friend indeed". In this case Biryani is to viewed as (for time being forget that public prosecutor had raised concern over Micky spending over 40 lakhs on his friend Nadia's treatment. Extending "Helping a friend in need of money" was taken up by public prosecutor as grave concern only to please and or fulfill intensions/hidden agenda of prosecutor's master(s)) But what is more important in this news is "Did Micky enjoyed eating Biryani served to him by Mr. CM - his close friend". So Rajan would you still keep trying again - the third time! Best regards, U. G. Barad
