Of the two key people involved in the Cricket Match Fixing Scam at the turn of the Century, Hansie Cronje died a tragic death in an accident.
But it was felt that Azharuddin got away scot free. He even became a Member of Parliament. Now the long hands of divine justice has reached him too in the form of an accident which has left his teenaged son fighting for life.
I can cite many examples of such retributions from my HPCL days, where the crooked amongst the petroleum dealers, who made pots of money through adulteration, paid heavily at some stage in their life - one had his painter daughter married off to an industrialist, only to find that he had send her to a living hell, for the guy was a wife beater. Another had a film actress swindle all his wealth, yet another was forced to kill his wifes secret lover and later on in his life saw his only son commit suicide after a failed romance. Then there was the case of one of the officials from HPCL, who after an era of corruption, having retired had just driven his family in a car from Kerala to Karnataka, only to find his only son having died in the car on the way. With hospitals refusing to even check him, as it was a DOA case, the old man was forced to drive all the way back to Kerala - a 10 hour drive, with his dead son leaning on the shoulders of his wife. He also had the mortification of seeing his daughter, whom he married with great fanfare, being tortured by his son in law, who turned out to be drug addict.
The long hands of divine justice catches up with you in one way or other.
