Ebook published by IDEAINDIA.COM


This book deals with some of the sensational cases handled during the author’s tenure as Director of the CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation): the Fodder Scam, Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination, Bofors which still reverberates today. Singh shares with the readers an insider’s knowledge of men and matters such as the inner workings of the CBI, its internal politics and external political pressures on the CBI Director. It is not a job for the faint-hearted. Singh describes attempts to muzzle the CBI, his brushes with politicians, the wayward bureaucracy and the fickle media.

The sums involved in different scams India has seen in the past few years are too large to be ignored. Gone is the social stigma attached to corruption. Money, even if ill-gotten, earns one respect. Many holy cows were exposed during Joginder Singh’s tenure as Director of the CBI. Singh believes that tax-payers do not exist to be merely milked by governments and officials who have no accountability.

This book, which follows on from ‘Inside CBI’, shows another side of India not seen by many and is a testament to Singh’s courage and perseverance.
