    People with power and position especially in India, think that they are immortal.
    They don't know that power and position are purely temporary. They commit all possible atrocities on poor, innocent and the vulnerable while in power. BUT, God has his own plans. In some cases Karma catches up very soon, in some cases a bit late.

    Every one's shelf life is limited in this world. Better to follow Raj Dharma in any official capacity or else the Principle of Natural Justice will sooner than later catch up.
