Big and small

Whether it is the Rs 1,76,000 crore telecom licence scam or a Rs 2,000 bribe, no case seems to be too large or small for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to handle. Earlier this month, the Special Judge for CBI cases convicted a senior manager in a state-owned bank in Indore for accepting a Rs 2,000 bribe to empanel an electrical contractor. And, it took two years for the sentence of a two-year rigorous imprisonment and a Rs 6,000 fine to be imposed.
