Book "Defying Corruption" Draws Attention of Supreme Court and Central Vigilance Commission

: The revelations and documented evidence presented in the book "Defying Corruption", authored by R Gopal Sharma, have now drawn the attention of the Supreme Court of India and the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC).

The book exposes deeply entrenched malpractices across multiple domains of public life. It sheds light on corruption, misappropriation of funds, and exploitation of women and cadets within the National Cadet Corps (NCC) and Sainik Schools system, and also brings to the forefront alleged irregularities involving the judiciary, the Sainik Colony land scam in Jammu, the Padma Awards selection process, and the influence of prominent political parties in shielding corruption and obstructing accountability. These revelations, backed by documentary evidence, have raised serious questions about institutional integrity and governance mechanisms at the highest levels.

The author had submitted a formal petition seeking a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. In response, an official acknowledgment has been received, assigning Inward No. 35224/SCI/PIL/2025, confirming that the grievance/communication has been duly registered and taken into consideration by the Court.

Furthermore, the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has confirmed examination of the issues raised in the complaint No. 110896/2025. As per official communication received, the matter has been formally filed by the concerned Chief Vigilance Officer (CVO), reflecting the seriousness with which the concerns outlined in the book have been taken.

The book "Defying Corruption" has also been submitted to multiple constitutional authorities, including the Hon'ble President of India, Hon'ble Defence Minister, Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), and other senior oversight bodies.

> “This is not just about a book—it’s about the courage to speak truth to power and bring to light the systemic failures within institutions entrusted with shaping future leaders. The fact that the Hon’ble Supreme Court and the CVC have acknowledged the concerns shows the strength of the facts presented and the urgent need for transparency and accountability,” said R Gopal Sharma, the author of Defying Corruption.

The author has urged for impartial investigation, institutional reform, and protection for whistleblowers, and remains committed to pursuing the matter through legal and constitutional channels.

: GMC Jammu lady doctor, assaulted by patient’s attendants, shares her experience: “On emergency duty, I attended an unstable patient struggling to breathe. Despite my efforts and explanations, the attendants turned aggressive. We give our all, yet face such treatment.”

CM of Jammu-Kashmir Omar Abdullah said that doctors cannot save everyone. “Life and death are not in the hands of doctors but in the hands of the Almighty. It is not acceptable to assault a doctor for having no fault. It cannot be tolerated. You have to file a case against the person who assaulted the doctor,” he said.

: CM Omar Abdullah says, "Even before Independence, our revenue records were in Urdu. How will a staff member in the revenue department work if he/she doesn't know Urdu? Earlier, when officers of Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Service (JKAS) and Indian Administrative Service (IAS) used to get appointed, if they didn't know Urdu, then they were given time to learn basics. I don't think staff members of the revenue department who don't know Urdu can be efficient.
