Top IAS officer held on corruption charges
NDTV Correspondent, Wednesday April 28, 2010, New Delhi
A top home ministry official, O Ravi, has been arrested for corruption after the CBI raided his residence.

Ravi is a 1983 batch IAS officer and posted as Joint Secretary Disaster Management and Policy. He has been charged with taking Rs 50 lakhs in bribe from Alok Khimani, a distiller from Daman and Diu.

Sources said Khimani faced huge tax evasion charges slapped on him by the present administrator posted by the Centre in the Union Territory and wanted him removed.

The CBI has also raided another Home Ministry official, a Director-level Indian Railway Services officer for allegedly taking Rs 10 lakhs in bribe for awarding contracts.

Top bureaucrats linked to big bribes

Comment: No wonder the Home Ministry bureaucrats cannot handle/ manage a Disaster or Crisis like that of Mumbai Mayhem. The home ministry officials are just filling up their own coffers instead of enumerating or implementing any policy on disaster management. The Home Minister needs to get the dead wood weeded out quickly! We have many similar bureaucrats in every Ministry who take refuge in the cancerous corrupt system who seldom get caught or exposed. The CBI, IB and others must use the sting operations to catch similar culprits and expose them through the media.
