    Well, these are minor officials. The Ministers, the DC, MC and :Police commissioner are all corrupt and their bribes are paid in to them secretly.

  2. Ganesh Kini says:

    What these officers did is what everyone else in their jobs does. Poor fellows. Must be bad luck.

  3. Chinni says:

    In india very difficult to stop corruption, without paying money they will delay work.If everything online the corruption will control

  4. Dayakar says:

    Terminate from service or de-promote to lower cadre. Mere suspension will not make any difference.

  5. Ajay says:

    In the last 8 years there may not have been many huge scams like in UPA government. However, corruption still does exist at lower levels and common man continues to face hardship due to this.

  6. Townster says:

    If the punishment is death penalty, then all corruption may end.

    @Hello Shamim
    Is that your post a translation of what you were saying in Urdu? Makes no sense!
    I have employed a few Muslim workers in my Kerosene warehouse, and realise that they translate everything from Urdu.

  12. Sharmilla says:

    They needs to be punished severely. Then only it can be stopped. Check in RTO office too. Wecan find many many like this. Govt is providing upgraded pay too for these criminals

    @Sharmilla
    These are lower grade employees. The top officials who get massive bribes are never caught. They are DC, MC and Police commissioner who are corrupt to the core.
