Outlook* editor-in-chief Vinod Mehta, in the letters’ pages of the weekly newsmagazine:
Clarification
In my Delhi Diary (Mar 21), I made some references to the late R.K. Karanjia, former editor of Blitz and one of India’s most respected journalists, and Col Gaddafi. I withdraw those remarks unreservedly and apologise to Russy’s family for any unintended hurt caused.
Vinod Mehta
There is, however, no “clarification” on the other editor mentioned in the diary, Ayub Syed, the late editor of Current.
