Arson when Arse on fire?

First, we try losing files in mountains of paperwork. Then we stall any and all enquiries with tons of red tape. When both fail thanks to computers and the RTI act, we are left with no choice but to come up with more creative and accidental ways of getting rid of evidence.

Like when my friends in the Slum Rehabilitation Authority were saved when a fire in the SRA office in Bandra burnt to a crisp all the files and hard disks prevented the Anti-Corruption Bureau from discovering discrepancies in 8 of the 11 cases of fraud that they are investigating.

What any irate citizens should note is how conveniently the fire was started when no one was in the office. We have a human side too -- see how much we abhor violence and human suffering.
