Roads of Corruption - Highway Robbery – CBI nabs top NHAI officials

HIGHWAY Robbery is perhaps as old as highways, but these days these actions take place in Delhi's corridors of power, not in the middle of some highways. It seems the CBI has arrested some top officers of the National Highways Authority of India. The Modus operandi of NHAI officials was to eliminate all potential contenders on one pretext or the other and favour the accused company ensuring huge financial gains to it. CBI recovered Rs . 46 Lakhs from a top officer of NHAI and Rs . 48 Lakhs from another officer.

Where does this road lead to? Maybe straight into the pockets of some of our not so roadworthy babus .
