I was wrong in my opinion. If legal reports show Tripathi wasn't involved, the family should take legal action against the Reddit users who participated in this garbage, AND Reddit itself. The former for libel, and the latter for having fai

There is proof of the Government's corruption, and some pointers to indicate it misuses the Income Tax department. But what proof can you present of the 'Italian lady's Nazi and KGB connections'? Let us keep discussions on this forum free o
