One such locker at the Bank of Baroda contained Rs 15 lakh in cash.
The locker belonged to Agrawal; but just two days before the raid, it was transferred to his brother. “After seeing the documents it seems that with the bank’s connivance, they have been tampered

This is another example showing and proving that India needs agency like Lokpal which will file a police case and will not wait for the corrupt government to take the action on corrupt officers.

Punishment for Corruption should be death punishment or life imprisonment until death.
