    Any custody,
    Bail is pakka.
    I bet they will out
    When palms would wet
    Lack of evidence
    No further investigation
    Officer related
    will be transfered
    Will left free-scot
    Accused in sandal wood.

    If our Governments are 50% successful in CURBING CORRUPTION and resultant loss to national treasury, Country will have enough Funds to start National River Linking projects!
    If Govt is successful in getting BLACK MONEY STASHED ABROAD, will be enough to complete River Linking projects. We will be ahead of China!

    no use only arresting exporter, arrest the related custom officer who cleared the container, and also the G.M of the port, without these people involvement container cannot be loaded in the ship. From many years these scandals are going on from Mangalore.now only one case is brought to light.

    Mr Mohan if u knew from many years these thinks are happening in manga lore why you didn't take any initiative as citizen of India .why you blaming the customs officer who cleared it . do you know the procedures and number of people involved in different levels before a container is sent . please don't blame one single person for everything . all are not corrupt as you think
