Operation West End Operation West End was the first sting operation done by Tehelka in 2001, the Indian news magazine known for its investigative journalism. It was done in order to make the murky defense deals public. The special correspondents of the magazine filmed several corrupt defense officials and politicians of ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government including Bhartiya Janta Party then President Late Bangaru Laxman. The operation took seven and a half months to complete, which later shook the country and adversely damaged the image of India in the International arena. The nightmarish fact is that a fictitious arms company successfully bought 34 individuals in high places including key politicians of ruling government. It is a known fact that corruption is rampant among politicians but the operation in 2001 blew the lid over sorry state of the nation, which was ruled by Bhartiya Janta Party and its allies, resulting in loss of faith by Indian people.
