NEW DELHI: A day after Mr Ramalinga Raju announced his departure from Satyam Computer after admitting to the country's biggest ever corporate fraud, a Web site by his name, launched supposedly by his fans last week, today vanished into oblivion.

The Web site, www.Ramalingaraju.com, was launched with much fanfare last week by some people claiming to be Mr Raju's well-wishers, who blamed media for giving him bad publicity.

Attempts to reach the site, which was available till yesterday, was today displayed “page not available” or “webpage cannot be found” error messages.

With a tag line of “Satyameva Jayate” (truth shall win), the Web site was soliciting public support for Mr Raju. Various postings on the Web site had said Mr Raju was a hero for them.

After the launch of the Web site, a Satyam spokesperson had said that it was not an official Web site and that “some well-wishers might have hosted it”.

However, the disclosure of financial fraud at Satyam yesterday has led to flooding of internet message boards with postings ridiculing Mr Raju. - PTI
