In May 1991, when a former Prime Minister of India was assassinated at Sriperumbudur, Mitra was a young reporter who had joined India Today magazine barely a month earlier. Over the next ninety days, he covered the hunt for Rajiv Gandhi's killers from closer than almost any other journalist in the country — his investigative stories became known as the "inside story" of the assassination. That reporting also made him a target: he was followed, threatened, and publicly branded a CBI agent by both the DMK and the LTTE chief Prabhakaran himself. For thirty years he carried facts he could not put in print. In 2022, he finally wrote them down — in the book that is the subject of today's conversation, Ninety Days: The True Story of the Hunt for Rajiv Gandhi's Assassins. 00:00:00 Trailer 00:01:07 The "90 Days" Mystery 00:02:44 LTTE's Real Reason to Kill Rajiv 00:13:57 Did Indira Gandhi Create LTTE?! 00:23:02 Prabhakaran's Evil Genius Network 00:33:16 IPKF: India's Biggest Blunder 00:46:14 The Deadly Assassination Plot 00:52:01 Brainwashing Innocent Indians 01:05:23 The Chilling Dry Run on VP Singh 01:10:47 Rajiv's Tragic Last-Minute Choice 01:15:58 The Final Seconds of the Blast 01:21:02 The Camera That Solved Everything! 01:32:33 Tricking Indian Intelligence 01:36:26 The Botched Bangalore Standoff 01:44:55 Narasimha Rao's Hidden Agenda 01:54:57 India's Biggest Cover-Up? 02:01:25 The Missing Foreign Connection 02:07:31 The Sonia Gandhi Angle
