Raghu Ram is the senior supervising producer at MTV India and the executive producer of the show MTV Roadies. He co-judges the auditions for the MTV Roadies with MTV VJ Rajiv Laxman. He is known for his crude remarks and sharp observation tactics. Also well known to be ruthless and impatient with the contestants when he takes the auditions.”Roadies has travel, adventure, drama, touch of voyeurism…” said Raghu Ram, when asked about the show. However, during the show “Behind the scenes”, we get to see a different rather softer side of him. He can be seen laughing and having fun with the Roadies crew. In auditions it can be easily seen that he acts differently with boys and girls.

Gautam Goswami [1966-2009] was an Indian civil servant, who faced allegations of corruption. He was also a medical doctor and a gold medalist.

Gautam was eulogized as a young hero for his supervision of relief efforts after floods hit Bihar,India. . However it is now alleged that throughout, Goswami allegedly channelled government money set aside for flood relief into a labyrinth of private accounts. The Indian Express first started reporting on possible misappropriations in 2004. These investigative reports soon caused a backlash against the officer.

The reports meticulously detailed the suspected modus operandi. Goswami, it was said, was funnelling funds to a private company named Baba Satya Sai Industrial Corporation, and maintaining in the records books that money was paid to BSSIC. BSSIC, incidentally was also the acronym of the state agency, Bihar Small Scale Industries Corporation, that oversaw relief work. It is reported that one year later, during the audits, it was discovered that less than 1% of the money reached those affected. The officer was lately re-instated back. His health had been an area of concern and was being treated for pancreatic cancer

He passed away in Jan 2009.
