Unfortunately, most politicians are not honest. Just check their wealth before and after they join a government. They don't have any morals or conscience - first luxury vehicles and the rest comes through underhand deals. They are generally a bunch of greedy, power-hungry crooks!

He robbed 7.8 million from one of my friends mother with a forged signature and he prepared a bogus deed for the property. I will now inform them to file a case against him.

Hope he would have paid the Bail amount out of the hat collection of Rs. 100/- per person. Ha...Ha...Ha...

He is an expert on "Forged Signatures" of anyone. Such people should be kept behind bars.

YES .... THE JAILS ARE HOUSE FULL.

Why was a long delay, I expected an ambulance at the court complex first and then a bail out by same court by signing in the car by the judge on his way home.

Maya Friday, 01 July 2016 12:29 PM

Now, tell us that they have mistaken me, that Gamaanpila was another one. I don't do that kind of things as I was trained to be honorable and respectful by former logga.
