Overheard In Bhopal: Minister-Officer Nexus, Bribes, Transfer Stopped

Some people in a city called Bhopal in India are talking about government workers who may be doing bad things.

They say a minister and a top government officer made a secret deal with a man's company.

The man gave them lots of money because they promised him work.

But then another company offered even more money, so the officer gave the work to them instead.

Now the first man is asking for his money back, and he told a leader of a big political party about it.

People also say some officers ask for money before they will do their jobs.

One officer was supposed to move to a new job, but strong connections kept him where he is.

Investigators caught a man who knew many officers, and now those officers are worried that their secrets will come out.

Still, the government may hire a retired officer who is known for being honest.
