The Bhanwari Devi case, which dominated Indian headlines and shook the foundations of Rajasthan politics in 2011, remains one of the most sensational scandals involving sex, power, blackmail, and murder. At the center of this storm was a missing CD—a "repack" of incriminating footage featuring former Rajasthan Minister Mahipal Singh Maderna and auxiliary nurse-midwife (ANM) Bhanwari Devi. | | October 16, 2011 | Mahipal Maderna
