    Selective Catch?? Tell me what work can you do at the MCC or at any Govt offices without bribe these days. You catch a person taking just rs.3000/- ? A small fish is caught while sharks and whales are still roaming free. Is this because official is from minority ? Let these ACB officials come in disguise to the MCC office pretending to be ordinary citizens and face and experience this bribery practice. Let DC send his officials in disguise to check on these un-ethical practices, they will know how it works.

    IN THE WORLD OF FISHING -- While a fisherman casts his net -- it is the small fish which escapes-- Big fish get caught -- But in the ACB net-- only small fish get caught-----

    Why doesn’t the ACB raid houses of MLA’s who have just changed parties after the elections? They are bound to get hard cash in crores but they are selective in their raids.

    Everyone knows crores passes thru -- only the pennies are picked up - Possibly ACB report card will show number of cases caught -- not amt & value of cases -- caught-- e,g --if they catch 100 persons with 3000/ it amounts to Three lakhs -- so the ACB evaluation will show good track record -- promotion etc -- 100 cases ---- --but fact is hypothetically --- a single officer in higher deals will take more than 20 lakhs bribe going upto crores --

    What is the use sir. He will re appointment in a different post in a different district and he will continue taking bribe. From many year many have been caught red handed. All are back in and working harder to achieve their goal.

    For every single job of mine I have been paying bribes to MCC officials for a long time now and nobody has been caught or arrested till now. Top to bottom everybody is taking bribes in MCC, the case being such why only single out one person and arrest him? This is not fair. The ACB guys, do they have guts even to touch a higher officer???

    DC must visit MCC and check there if any pending work those staff had kept. DC must openly ask with Citizens who are wandering in the office for to get their work done.

    There are many like him but not from his community. Hopefully they will also be investigated soon. Is it worth losing your reputation for 3000 bucks.
