This man was arrested earlier and was facing serious charges but was reinstated later on. The fact that such a person has been allowed to occupy such a crucial position at top level only indicate that the corrupt officials can get away with anything by playing politics. Media reports say that this man has several political connections .
In the past, many corrupt officials have gone scot free after initial arrest and getting bail. Such corrupt people seem to have great faith in Indian judicial system that it would not give any judgement too soon. The story of a Chief Minister's case pending in the court for nearly fifteen years is a ready example.
The net effect is that many corrupt people , whether they are official or politician or business man or even judge, do not suffer at all except for a brief period when they would be arrested and then released on bail.
Ultimately, corruption can be wiped out in India only by a determined and honest central government and what crusaders against corruption in public life may do can only be symbolic.
Narendra Modi's government is yet to give an impression that it would effectively make the corrupt people pay the price for their misdeeds. Whatever may be Mr. Modi's achievements in other front, if he would not succeed in wiping out such corruption at national and regional level, the country men would not be satisfied.
