Folks, some of you may remember an article that ran in TOI some days ago at the height of the Twiteroor fiasco. It was titled "When Modi was booked for robbery" filed on 16th April. It was available on the TOI website at this url http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/When-Modi-was-booked-for-robbery/articleshow/5814316.cms.
The article talked about how Modi was indicted for trafficking more than 400 grams of cocaine, second degree kidnapping, assault and conspiracy to kidnap. (In fact there is a Daily Telegraph article that says that Lalit Modi was convicted of these charges). (See related item: Is Lalit Modi even eligible to be IPL Commissioner?)
Guess what? the article is not available anymore at the above URL on the TOI website. If you search for the article on TOI you get a Google search result pointing to the article.
When you reach this URL it says "Page not found".This is the error that shows up when you delete a page from the TOI system.
Well on the internet nothing ever really goes away: So from the Google cache we have the link...

There was yet another URL which carried the story: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/ipl/News/iplarticlelist/iplarticleshow/India/When-Modi-was-booked-for-robbery/iplarticleshow/5814316.cms You can't see it here either. Same message.
Sure enough the Google cache has it:

Here is the article on the TOI epaper http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Scripting/ArchiveView.asp?Daily=CAP&AppName=1&login=default&pub=TOI&Skin=TOINEW&Enter=true&GZ=T&BaseHref=CAP%2F2010%2F04%2F16&AW=1272349830500&Page=14
Weird!
Folks, something is rotten in Denmark.
