Indian Government's first private sector bail out

Yes, we are talking about Satyam Computers Ltd. In all probability to protect the interest of 50000 employees of the IT behemoth, the government may have to resort to the populist measure of bailing out the company by infusing liquidity to fulfill its working capital needs. Since L&T and LIC are stakeholders in the company and now with GOI deciding to place nominee directors on board, there is every possibility of an initial bail out from GOI and later on some merger arrangements with L&T infotech or a consortium of interested IT companies. Interesting events can unfold in the days ahead. The only issue bothering white knights now is the concealed liability on satyam's books as well as the legal claims that might be bestowed upon the company post this largest corporate fraud in Indian history.
