The Dirty Eleven

An undercover investigation by Cobrapost that employed clandestine cameras shows 11 MPs cutting across party lines, including of the Congress and BJP, offering to write letters of recommendation for a fictional foreign oil firm. Some helpfully offer the support of other MPs as well, and a lawmaker’s husband promises to approach Sonia Gandhi. The prices for these services range from Rs 50,000 to Rs 50 lakh
