Regional Passport Officer of Chennai Arrested Today
I wonder what to make out of the news of the arrest of the Regional Passport Officer of Chennai Ms. Sumathi Ravichandran. Many newspapers are reporting it today. The Express Buzz reports that the action was taken on the complaints of Mr. Lakshmanan who works with an NGO.
Lakshmanan managed to get the passport despite being unable to produce all the necessary documents. He was asked to pay Rs.12, 500 to “speed up” the process. The amount included the Rs.9,000 to be paid to the RPO, Rs. 2,500 to be paid as tatkal passport processing fees and another Rs.1,000 as “services charges” ...
My question is why only her when it is such a common practice across many regions! Who did she displease or is it that the person who complained was connected enough to get this action taken. Or is it that I am being too cynical?

Lack of awareness - one of the reason of corruption.
is it that the person who complained was connectedWe don't know. But the person who was arrested certainly is!
No cynical, very true. And thats sad... :-(
cant help but be cynical when there are too many people guilty of even bigger scams and walking free and one-off person gets caught
We have to start somewhere.
Hobo, I wish it was so simple.
