It is surely a case where he was shamed to insanity by the scandal in which he found himself, an unwitting victim. He must have decided there was no point in living in humiliation, having lost the reputation he had staked everything to build over 20 years of sacrifice and service. If the CBI had to find anything, it may have been more worthwhile perhaps to raid the concerned Minister’s and his cohorts’ house, than an honest officer. This is surely a case of a Bureaucrat dying under Ministerial responsibility and a Minister thriving under Bureaucratic responsibility” ! Honesty and integrity is surely on way to extinction.
