If u hv guts go and arrest political leaders instead of arresting old woman just for 2000.
Great very effective vigilance department… for arresting some one who is 2k as a bribe.. What abt who are taking lakhs
Funny ..there are people getting bribe in millions..and they catch someone who has taken 2000 and that’s news
Of course she is to get retired on 29 Feb 2020. By mistake she might has taken the bribe. The vigilance has to confirm weather the LIC agent is having any enemity with this head master
