Nearly 300 government officials — including paramilitary officers, the daughter of an MP, a roadways official, a sales tax official — were prosecuted for unauthorised use. Instead of backing the unprecedented crackdown, a group of 100 MPs, across parties, requested the chairman of the committee that governs their privileges to allow them emergency lights (and toll-free passage on national highways). The reasoning? Without red lights, their cars were being prosecuted for traffic offences.

Sep 19, 2011 Friend or Foe?: "Delhi, Mumbai blasts: Riven by corruption, Indian police is unprepared to tackle modern terror", "Corupt To The Core There is a good reason why the police are perceived to be among the most corrupt government departments. In Maharashtra, policemen comprise 23 per cent of government servants netted for bribe-taking over the past six years. Experts say the figure could well be a national average. Police corruption takes the form of extortion: bribes are taken for not enforcing the law. Policemen wield immense powers relating to the life and liberty of citizens, implement legislation relating to gambling, prostitution, dance bars, hotels, economic offences, and in some states, prohibition. They are tasked with checking activities having the potential to generate black money. Even simple measures like free registration of First Information Reports (FIR) is not adopted. A check of the complaints register at any police station usually reveals hundreds of unregistered cases. Nobody is punished for such lapses. Law and order gets priority over crime and corruption thrives. Graft is so endemic to the force and the opportunities for retail corruption so many, that bribes are paid for recruitment."
