India’s top anti-corruption body, Lokpal, faces backlash for paying Rs 50 lakh/month rent at The Ashok Hotel and planning to buy seven Rs 70 lakh BMWs for its members. Critics question the priority of luxury over accountability and justice.
The Lokpal of India has dismissed all complaints against former SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch regarding the Hindenburg matter, deeming the allegations baseless and speculative. The anti-corruption body found no credible evidence to warrant an investigation, criticizing the complainants for filing frivolous claims aimed at sensationalism.
The Lokpal has dismissed a corruption complaint against former Chief Justice of India (CJI) DY Chandrachud, citing lack of jurisdiction. The anti-corruption Inspector clarified that sitting judges and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court do not fall within its purview under Section 14 of the Lokpal and Lokayuktas Act. This provision restricts the Lokpal’s authority to probe complaints against such high-ranking judicial officials.
