One ardently remembers Gujarat chief minister and the "saffron" party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Bhai Modi patting his own back and making tall claims about Gujarat being the only state in the nation where one does not have to pay "bribes" or any other form of illegal gratification to get any governmental work done......
Alas, for Narendra Modi his bubble was unceremoniously burst by one Arvind Kejriwal who conclusively established the fact that Gujarat was one of the most corrupt and immoral states in the country and now comes this sordid tale of a government official demanding and exorbitant sum of money from an applicant for rendering official favours.......
An alert and conscientious team of Anti Corruption Bureau officials caught a village sarpanch's husband and the very same panchayat's computer operator while they were in the midst of accepting a bribe of Rs.10,000/- from a resident of the village on the pretext of extending the benefits that were due to him under the central government run Indira Aawas Yojana......
The corrupt and immoral duo were caught red handed earlier today near Viramgam (on the outskirts of Ahmedabad) while they were in the act of accepting and siphoning off the illegal gratification......
Amarsinh Chavda a long time resident of Ghoda village near Viramgam had recently applied for a house under the auspices of the government run scheme, he then decided to approach the village panchayat and enquire about the status of his application......
He was however shocked and disgusted beyond words when the panchayat's computer operator one Jayesh Rawal apprised him of the fact that his application would be duly forwarded to the concerned department, but he would have to dole out the princely sum of Rs. 10,000/- in order to ensure that the benefits due to him came his way......
Rawal further went on to say that he was only acting as a middleman for the village's sarpanch and that the amount demanded would ultimately buffer her already burgeoning bank balance and that her husband one Pravin Singhav would accept the amount of her behalf from Chavda.......
Unfortunately for the duo, the applicant (Chavda) was made of sterner stuff and he made an immediate beeline towards the offices of the anti corruption bureau and then proceeded to lay a trap for the avaricious duo in active consultation with the sleuths from the afore mentioned bureau.......
Matters came to a head earlier this afternoon when two anti corruption bureau inspectors K.T. Kamaria, R.S. Sharma and their team of constables reached the Bank of Maharashtra's Viramgam branch where Rawal. was supposed to come and collect the promised "bribe" amount.....
Rawal was arrested from the spot, while Singhav was arrested from the village sarpanch's residence within an hour or so, the two of them are currently cooling their heels in a police lock up and will be duly produced before a judicial magistrate on Wednesday........
Narendra Bhai Modi and his "corruption free" Gujarat????
