On Friday, April 17th 2009, Radio Indigo had a contest. ‘Worst Dashboard Disaster Contest’. The prize was given to a man who killed his sisters cat by leaving it in an overheated car for a long time. The Radio Jockey Meghna and the man laughed over the incident.
I think this deserves the severest condemnation and stern action. Apparently the channel has apologised because of the uproar this incident has caused but this is not good enough. When I called the administrative officer of the channel, he turned out to be a very nervous man who had nothing to say and promised me that he would give me the number of the RJ. He never did. I expected nothing less. Then I was given the number of the program-in-charge- Mr.Santosh.He initially did not take my call but called me back and pretended he could not hear me, so that ended the conversation.
Radio Indigo has aided and abetted a culpable offence. A PIL has to be filed and a legal notice has to be sent to both parties. Meanwhile I want this radio channel to be condemned for what it has done and RJ Meghna taken to task.
Here are the numbers that might be useful.
Santosh: Program director: 9900172919
Radio Indigo: 080 -25501126

I spoke to Santosh who said that he was shocked and sorry about what happened, that Meghna had been pulled up and made to apologise on air and that 'this doesn't end here', that his organisation would make sure it sensitises its people to animal welfare issues.
Which is well and good as far as it goes, but we need to get details on this psycho in Madras.
Just horrible.
