If there is a Nobel Prize for fooling others the 2009 prize must go to Aijaz Khan the 29 year old techie from Mumbai. He morphed his face onto a photograph of Gandhi and Jinnah by substituting his face instead of Jinnah's. And all this on the front page of The Times of India dated Friday July 12 1945. The caption he put below the picture is priceless: "Congress President Mahatma Gandhi and the president of the Azad Hind Party Aijaz Khan" It also says: "Mumbai: Congress President Mahatma Gandhi and the president of the Azad Hind Party Aijaz Khan together in the rally at Mumbai Azad Maidan. And after the rally they went to meet General Bob to discuss about the arrest of Bhagat." (emphasis mine) Phew!!! And this many years after Bhagat Singh had
been hanged to death by the British. And General Bob of all people!!!! Oh God, it pains when I laugh too much!!!
Using this photograph he was able to con many people to the tune of Rs. 50 Lakhs. He convinced them that he would be investing the money they gave in government schemes and they stood to double their money.
It is unbelievable that nobody questioned him.
