Truck driver beaten to death by the police! Corruption at its worst.

Another case of police brutality has come forward - the death of a truck driver on the national highway in Uttar Pradesh.

Corruption at its worst - RTO Officials today (26-Sept-2011) beat a truck driver to death in Uttar Pradesh. His fault was that he refused to pay a bribe of Rs.5000.

The incident happened on National Highway 2 in Chandauli. An ARTO who was supposedly on a routine checking, intercepted a truck. After checking the licence and other documents, the ARTO demanded a bribe of Rs.5000/-, which the truck driver refused to pay. As a consequence of his refusal the ARTO and his associates badly beat up the driver leading to his death.

This is the state of affairs in our country and the Congress-led UPA Government is not willing to act against the corrupt. It does not want to pass the strict jan-lokpal bill that Anna Hazare is demanding.
