Post unlocking, surge in anti-corruption cases in Maharashtra.  “[India’s] statistics reveal that the two lockdown months of April and May saw a reduction of 88 per cent and 61 per cent in Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) cases compared to the similar period in 2019…“During Covid-19 lockdown, there was a less number of working staff everywhere including in the ACB office. So naturally, the cases came down,” said Bansode [ACB’s superintendent of police]”

I will not involve in corruption, and I won’t let others to do so: PM Oli.  Nepal’s Prime Minister “presented data of government authorities working in controlling the abuse of authority, corruption and irregularities after he came to power some two years ago. “The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority has filed 792 cases in the last two years. Similarly, the Department of Revenue Investigation has filed cases against 1027 people on revenue leakage, foreign exchange fraud and illicit financial transactions (hundi), claiming a total of NRs. 31.05 billion in fines,” said PM Oli.”
