"I Paid, What About the Poor?" - Grieving Father's Post Exposes Karnataka's Corruption
A deeply moving social media post by K. Sivakumar, a retired BPCL officer, has sparked outrage across Karnataka. Mourning the death of his only daughter Akshara, Sivakumar detailed how he was forced to pay bribes at every stage - from the ambulance to the police station, crematorium, and BBMP offices - just to complete her funeral rites. His post, later deleted, has reignited anger over Bengaluru's entrenched corruption, with many questioning how the system preys even on those in grief.
