Delhi Police are not making any official statement about a possible conspiracy angle to the unfortunate incident involving Rahul Mahajan and Vivek Moitra. But informally, they are talking about it, and a dozen of conspiracy theories are doing rounds in the BJP circle. There is nothing substantive in them, but they can't be ignored either. For they come from people who knew Pramod Mahajan and his family well and dealt with Moitra.

The fact that the three men disappeared after Rahul and Moitra collapsed, fuelled the conspiracy theories. BJP leaders said they were not aware of Moitra doing drugs. They had some idea of Rahul's lifestyle, but believed that he had matured after his father's death.

Did Moitra became a target for being a close confidant of Pramod Mahajan? If so, who could have wanted him out of way? Was Rahul's presence in the scene merely incidental, or he, too, was a target? Lots of questions are being raised, but so far, none has been answered.
