Matter should be raised in parliamentBy: Mala | Saturday , 11 Jul '09 19:19:01 PM Reply | Forward The Indian Express has done its duty. Let us see what happens now. With the parliament in session and the state under President's rule, stalwarts from the state like Yashwant Sinha should raise this matter and compel the government to order a probe.

Let the judiciary take noticeBy: Sudhir | Saturday , 11 Jul '09 19:16:16 PM Reply | Forward I hope the Judiciary takes notice of such corruption and orders a probe. The Accountant General deserves to be congratulated.

Nothing would happenBy: Meenakshi Gupta | Saturday , 11 Jul '09 19:14:30 PM Reply | Forward The record of the Congress party in tackling corruption by the high and the mighty has never been good. Nothing came out of the Bofors or the Narsimha Rao bribery scandal. Shibu Soren in fact was rewarded and made CM. So I don't think anything would happen to Ram and his cohorts. They will be able to bribe their way out.

PreposterousBy: Praveen Tiwari | Saturday , 11 Jul '09 19:11:33 PM Reply | Forward I cannot express my anguish in words. This is preposterous. The DGP should be punished on the same lines as an army officer if he pockets the funds given to him for fighting the enemy. Only then the crooks like him would learn.

Home Minister should actBy: AK Chandra | Saturday , 11 Jul '09 17:28:47 PM Reply | Forward Let us see what does our lawyer Home Minister does, who when out of a job, dons his black coat and appears in the Supreme Court. I am sure he will take appropriate action aginst the people responsible for this murky episode.

The Govt should actBy: AM Bajaj | Saturday , 11 Jul '09 17:03:13 PM Reply | Forward The Home Minister is known as a suave, urbane, honest and intelligent person. I am sure he will take immediate action aginst the officers involved in this scam. In a way its good that the state is under President's rule otherwise crooks like Ram would have got away by bribing the politicians who depend upon the police for help during the elections.

DisgustingBy: Arlene Sharma | Saturday , 11 Jul '09 16:52:49 PM Reply | Forward The story makes one puke. One more episode of corruption by those whose duty it is to ensure a corruption free society. Unless we as citizens wake up, it will keep on happening. I hope it generates enough heat and debate in Parliament so that the Congress Government is forced to act and punish the fellows involved.

Time to Wake UpBy: A.Minz | Saturday , 11 Jul '09 16:48:41 PM Reply | Forward One comes across several cases where powerful bureaucrats, politicians and businessmen indulge in corruption and get away with it. The media highlights such cases, but no action is taken. This is really disgusting. I only hope that in view of the fact that funds for fighting naxals was siphoned away, the government takes immediate action.

Swift action requiredBy: AK Mehta | Saturday , 11 Jul '09 16:35:11 PM Reply | Forward Swift action by the Government is the call of the day. Let the government investigate the matter quickly and if prima facie the DGP is found guilty, he should be suspended till the full enquiry is completed.

ReprehensibleBy: S.Sahay | Saturday , 11 Jul '09 16:17:04 PM Reply | Forward This is really reprehensible. The Govt. should act quickly to bring the guilty to book. The crooks should not be allowed to go away because they are the topmost sarkari babus.
