    This is one of the hundreds of bribery cases take place every day in every Govt offices in Mangalore and other part of the state. MCC, MUDA, PWD, RTO, Taluk, NH, Sub Registers office, Police stations etc. Catching one fellow and making a big breaking news is nothing but a joke. Will PM Modi introduce Lok Pal in the centre and CM Kumaraswamy introduce Lokayukta in the State?

    Very good Gangaadhar! Wonderful job you have done. I really appreciate your courage. Fantastic decision you have taken. I wish that many more Gangadhars should come forward to stop this curse of India. Permanently these people should be imprisoned.

    I wish many more such citizens come up and trap officials from Corporation Office, Corporators, MUDA officials, Revenue Dept, police etc. in taking bribe. This is the only way one can counter Govt officials demanding money to do their duty.

    First thing they do nothing in the office ! and posing they are very busy even they cant breath ! they are the luckiest people in whole universe ! If you can see the whole environment of office which is very filthy and there is no sense of dressing ! coming with chappals some people using PAN BEEDA in the office !

    You cant differentiate who is official ! who is clerk ! and who is peon ! every clown is the same in the government office! Funny thing is they treat all citizens of India as Bangladeshi immigrants !
