Dear Venkatesh, Bhaskar

Please find the link to the recent allegations of plagiarism made against "Professor" Suman Sahai (formerly with NCPRI(RTI) as a Working Committee member), as claimed to be updated by the confirmation from the University of Heidelberg.

The University of Heidelberg had apparently taken the unusual step of investigating an anonymous complaint into Prof Sahai. Previously we guys at RTI_India had also written extensively about "NCPRI and RTI touts" [1]

As we are agreed, there is a need to cleanse civil society of plagiarists (Shekhar Singh's organised RTI piracy on behalf of Google springs to mind) so that the rest of us are not tarred with the same brush.

I think it is in all our interests that we keep each other mutually informed about such persons in our ranks as and when it comes to our notice as the forces seeking to divide and defame us are very well organised and influential.

Brgds.
