Most of the cases are motivated, false and just for statistics. Honest, upright, tough officers have merely been rounded up under criminal cases even when there were human errors without any implications. This is just an eyewash exercise as the real culprits continue with brazenness.They work like a coterie and remain unexposed. Most booked are mere victims of misfortune or some rivalry. Only when some officer discharges a proper duty, the public will complain and then the officer gets targeted by CBI. The result: working of bureaucracy from top to bottom has come to a grinding halt as almost all tough officers have been cornered. This is a strategy by Congress just to show figures to public before the elections. But no such gimmicks would help them. This is only going to harm the country. See the number of VRS over the last just 1 year. All intelligent and knowledgeable officers are leaving the `steel frame`....Shame yet true !
