Many activists chiefly those belonging to NCPRI think Jan Lokpal as a supermom.

They want group B and group C official out of purview of Lokpal and are demanding a separate Citizen Grievance Redressal Bill. NCPRI recommends CVC and Police (when directed by CVC) as the investigative bodies to check corruption. Today, 19 May 2012, I have returned from Ghaziabad electricity department office in my area after getting Meter Sealing Certificate from them. We went for load addition. We decided to process the application through my fathers childhood friend who works in the electricity department so that we do not have to bribe at every desk what is referred as Red tape-ism in Indian media. But at every step that does not involve direct involvement of my uncle, we have been asked bribe right from changing of the old electronic meter to wiring which actually are the duty of the electricity department after the due fees is filled. But shockingly the demands have not been like the ones commonly known. They are like haanji hamara when asked what for? Replies are Hum to private contract employee hain sarkari thorey hi hain fees to aapne sarkar ko di haihamare bhi banta hai. We did not heed at first and since these people have knowledge that my uncle was helping us, they went away. Again the second time, demand was the same. My father yielded to the pressure in spite of our disagreement over the matter. Today, I went to the office; I was asked fee receipt details which I provided them after asking my uncle. The officer ordered his subordinates to hand over the certificate to me. Here came the shocker, His subordinate right in the front of government officials asked for bribe in lieu of the certificate. He blackmailed me Tumne meter sealing ke time per bhi kuch nhi diya ab to dena hoga. Tumse 200 maang raha hoon kyonki tum staff ke ho,nahi to 500 maangta . I informed my father about the new demand of bribe. He told me to hand it to them. With a heavy heart, I handed two green notes of legally and hard earned to the Bastard. And the shithole had the courage to say thank you as if I am giving him a wedding present. I walked away. Though most who know Indian Black Tap-ism wont ask for it but for those who want to know what am I doing posting it on internet instead of reporting the matter to police, I have visited many times Police station in Delhi as well as Ghaziabad to report incident of theft, public brawl or other grievances. I have not been able to lodge a written complaint/FIR with them other than in twice when my College ID card and Driving License was picket along with the money. So, Police cannot be trusted with handling corruption cases directly neither does CVC whose investigative officers are civil servants working the same departments. To NCPRI, I dont take that activists in NCPRI, some of whom are working with high echelons of government are unaware of craters in CVC, and if you still prescribe CVC, with civil servants as the IOs for handling the investigations, you cant be deemed as a public rights group.
