How the end came
Then again, it had been 12 long days of speculation following that fateful morning of April 22. Days fuelled by routine bulletins on Mahajan's status by doctors at Hinduja Hospital. It had become a habit for journalists, standing outside waiting for the latest missives. On some days, there were two reports; on others, three.
But, on Wednesday, the promised 3 pm bulletin failed to arrive. More than an hour passed, with no news. The reasons for worry grew.
