This article was published on the front page of TOI-Delhi on the 7th. They openly admit to tracking down Ukrainian coach Yuri Ogorodnik by verifying the location of his cellphone! Now I know that the media can get things done when they want to, but is this allowed? I'm wondering because they went ahead and mentioned it in the article:

From the article:
Even though NIS officials were tightlipped about the coach, TOI tracked him down on Wednesday in Patiala after verifying his presence through the location of his cellphone.

Rupert Murdoch comes to my mind....mediamen are powerful n for their benift, they can turn unethical to ethical. but i dont think its just about them, if you have money and links, can get away after doing all wrong things.

Absolutely no. But it does happen and you can't help it.
