What a shame, its embarrasing to hear such news.

Doctors had to amputate the leg of a 13-year-old snack vendor who was thrown off a moving train after he reportedly did not have money to bribe a guard, authorities said Sunday.

Part of Mohammed Salahuddin's leg was removed below the knee after it was badly damaged after the fall, said Amit Lodha, a railway police superintendent.

According to published reports, the suspect allegedly hurled Salahuddin off the train on Thursday in anger because he did not have Rs 10 (20 cents) to pay in bribes for selling snacks on board.

"The (arrested) constable has denied these allegations. But he indeed has been found to have thrown the boy out of the train," Lodha told CNN.

The guard was sent to jail Sunday for the incident, which took place in India's Bihar state, officials said. He faces attempted murder among other charges.

In August, Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh admitted his country was faced with "pervasive corruption".

"The malaise of corruption, so sapping of our efforts to march ahead as a nation, should be treated immediately and effectively," Singh warned.

It's my own country.

I can't get what I deserve. I need to bribe for my rights. Even if it's legal, I need to bribe to get things done.

A government officer, is not moving the applications of NOC for applying passport to the higher official's approval because she herself was denied for some reason sometime ago. And the victims of that frustration? All fellow government employees that comes for NOC. The file is not moving beyond this officer. A revenge for the response she got. Is there somebody to question these kind of officers?

When a government promotion panel is in place, with the positions vacant, the Higher official is not issuing the promotion order yet. Why?

What kind of system is it? Where is this country heading to? Huh.......
