The Hindu reports:

“Bangalore: H.T. Sangliana, Bharatiya Janata Party MP, on Saturday announced the setting up of an `Anti-Corruption Front’ to fight corruption, which, he said, was eroding public life and democracy.
The former Commissioner of Police told presspersons here that the suspended Assistant Commissioner of Police Sangram Singh, an accused in the stamp paper racket, who had been released on bail, had joined the Front.
Mr. Singh was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation, which is investigating the stamp paper racket. “

Ummmmm….. if you were starting an anti-corruption front, wouldn’t you want to recruit someone else as your first candidate?
