In Madhya Pradesh news about accepting bribes in abundance are dominating the print media and the news channels where right from a Patwari to chief secretary and from Constable to the DG Police are caught taking bribes thus earning and accumulating currect worth millions and millions of rupees stocking them illegally to the shock and surprise of one and all. Sounds really shocking that salary is merely few thousand rupees and wealth, property , currency worth Rupees 700 crores. Though several cases of bribery have been unearthed in Madhya Pradesh where the saffron party government rules but in a case of one constable of MP police everyone is surprised when after raising several locations his unaccounted wealth of worth Rs. 500 to 700 crores was found. The moot point is what were the different agencies doing when they constable was illegally earning so much of money clandestinely. Where were the vigilance department officials and other agencies ? Just imagine how can this happen in a monthly salary of mere thirty thousand rupees. The details of the accumulated unearthed wealth is as below : 52 kg of gold
234 kg of silver
10 crore rupees in cash from an SUV
1 crore rupees from other locations
Luxury cars
Flat in Dubai
Property in India worth 150-200 crore rupees
FDs worth crores
Total assets estimated at 500-700 crore rupees! It seems that this illegal wealth is definitely either of a corrupt senior officer or other corrupt persons in government who must have used this constable as a conduit to cover these corrupt deeds. Otherwise how can a constable earn such a huge wealth and through which sources ? A moot question.
