Audition for a real-life horror

There appears to be a lot more to the Rohit Arya hostage story than what is known at this time, but given that the trail of this curious hostage-shootout situation goes all the way into the corridors of the Maharashtra government, the entire truth may never come out.

As is known by now, Arya took 17 children and two adult hostages in a studio in Powai, a posh suburb of Mumbai, this Thursday and threatened them harm in a video he put out. A filmmaker, Arya had reportedly worked in collaboration with the state's education department to promote cleanliness by developing an initiative called Swachhata Monitor. Arya claimed, in his video, that he was committing the criminal act over the nonpayment of crores worth of dues for the project and that the government department had robbed him of the concept.
