300 Crorepati Babus In Bihar! 
 A staggering 300 Bihar government employees -- earning modest salaries -- are crorepatis. If that isn't surprising enough, here's more: All but two of the 300 continue to hold on to their secure -- as also, no doubt, lucrative -- government jobs despite long stints in jail. According to official figures, 71 such corrupt babus were caught until November this year by the state vigilance bureau. In 2006, when chief minister Nitish Kumar cracked the whip on graft, 70-odd ``traps'' led to the arrest of 76 employees. This shot up to 131 in 2007; while 97 others were caught with their hands in the till in 2008. Of the 365 arrested babus, the Vigilance Bureau found 300 had assets and other valuables running into crores. In the last four years, chargesheets were submitted against 596 gazetted and 632 non-gazetted public servants apart from 302 others, including those arrested before 2006. With just one vigilance court in Bihar for ``trap'' cases, only a handful have been convicted so far. Worse, their departments have been indifferent about sacking the convicts. The only two corrupt public servants fired were clerks -- one in the commercial taxes department and the other in the agriculture department. * `Speedy trial to discourage corrupt babus' Source: Times Of India 300 crorepati babus in Bihar!

``The Vigilance Bureau has no role in the dismissal of government servants arrested on corruption charge,'' said ADG (vigilance) Anil Sinha. ``Our job is to arrest them, file FIRs, investigate, submit chargesheets and put them on trial.''
`Speedy trial to discourage corrupt babus' ADG (vigilance) Anil Sinha admits trials in such cases haven't been fast because there is just one court for ``trap'' cases. ``But the pace of trials has increased, with court proceedings taking place daily,'' he added. Another senior cop said speedy trial and conviction of such employees would go a long way in discouraging others. The vigilance department, too, feels that dismissals would create a sense of fear among other greedy babus. Nitish Kumar has emphasised the need for special courts to deal exclusively with trap and disproportionate assets cases. ``If I had my way, I'll have illegal properties amassed by them confiscated and open schools in their palatial buildings,'' Kumar said. The state government has already got a Bihar Special Courts Bill, 2009, passed by the state legislature which provides for confiscation of assets of corrupt government servants. But the Bill's awaiting Centre's approval.
