If this is true then it's something which should set the alarm bells ringing Jim Joneswise. I know there's been a lot of input on this forum from various people, especially Cynthia (thank you Cynthia) speculating that Rawat suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

There's just been a high profile murder trial in England, where the charge was reduced to manslaughter, because the teenage kid who killed his parents was diagnosed as NPD.

The thing is he went over the edge when the parents confronted him with the mountain of lies he'd constructed as his public persona. OK, I'm not explaining it very well, it's more complicated than that.........but if Rawat is now faking it, as far as I understand from reading the ins & outs of this tragic story, then he is close to cracking point.
