Botcott the Corrupt

Shakeel Anjum’s investigative reporting (City News Nov. 3^rd) on Corruption in Corruption Free Department - NH&M Police - made some startling disclosures. Allegedly the head of the department is having 10 luxury and other expensive vehicles in his and his family’s use!  Some of the Ex-IGs, serving bureaucrats, some other retired officers are still retaining expensive vehicles, some two of them along with their drivers and most drawing the fuel for the vehicles on the department’s account.  One is really amazed at the moral courage (read moral turpitude & deprivation) of such officers in using such cars so brazenly, in front of their present or ex subordinates, their family friends and relations, and above all their own grown up children!  How can they ever face them?! They must have nerves of steel, for, no ordinary mortal can live with a conduct so unbecoming so openly and so shamelessly. I think, the only way to teach them a lesson is to have their social boycott.  They should be shunned like lepers and let to brew in their own stinking stew for the rest of their lives.
