Dear contributors and friends,
The June issue of Hardnews is live and available on stands. Please visit www.hardnewsmedia.com for details and http://www.hardnewsmedia.com/2007/10/1426 for where the magazine is available.
The website is being updated regularly and now includes more than the print version.
Cover Story: Who pulled the trigger on Hemant Karkare?
Whose bullets killed the Maharashtra ATS chief and Inspector Vijay Salaskar, if they were not that of Kasab and Ismail? Was there some other sinister force out to eliminate Karkare and stop him at all costs? And how come Karkare's line of investigations has finally opened up the terrorist can of Hindutva outfits that triggered bomb blasts across the country?
The magazine also includes:
