The Escorts vs Naresh Trehan battle has put a question mark on Delhi Lt Governor Tejinder Khanna’s role. A former chairman of Ranbaxy, Khanna apparently asked Delhi Police Commissioner K K Paul to consider taking action against the heart surgeon.

The message came clear — leave corporates to fight their own battles.
