Aam aadmi stings not sharp enough for babus
NEW DELHI: The aam aadmi's sting seems wasted on corrupt babus-so far. While about 30 people have acted on the chief minister's advice to secretly record evidence of corruption, the government's Anti-Corruption Bureau says most of these recordings are of such a poor quality that they cannot be a basis for action.

An officer told TOI: "People use mobile phones or other small recording devices. The recordings are not clear and the complainants have not asked incriminating questions. There is not enough concrete evidence in people's sting operations".He said only 10 of the 30 recordings received have been referred for inquiry and even these may not stand legal scrutiny.

"The weak stings only make our work difficult because although the files are piling up, the evidence cannot sustain the complaints for long," said an official.


Sources said the 30 recordings seem to have been made months before the Aam Aadmi Partyformed the government in Delhi. Most of them are against municipal corporation officials or policemen. After scrutinizing the recordings, the ACB has sent 10 of them to a forensic laboratory.
Within a week of its launch, the government's anti-corruption helpline has received close to 40,000 calls and the officials are now guiding the callers on properly conducting sting operations.


On Tuesday, the bureau arrested two cops on charges of corruption.

So let me get this right...Delhi govt is diverting administrative resources into sting training for Joe public who would then be expected to use his newly acquired skills to conduct sting operations against government officials themselves? Am I the only one who can spot the potential flaw in this clever plan? Looks like this latest attempt to promote mob rule through state sponsored vigilantism could prove to be yet another nail in AAP's coffin.
@Nair saab any news on Khujli's Jan Jokepal bill? Wasn't he supposed to launch it at some grand event at the Ramleela Grounds within 15 days of assuming office or somefink?
