A retired Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) officer from Bengaluru, K Sivakumar, moved thousands online after sharing a heartbreaking account of the corruption he faced following his 34-year-old daughter’s death. In a LinkedIn post, now deleted, Sivakumar, former CFO of BPCL, described how he was forced to pay bribes to ambulance operators, police officers, crematorium staff, and officials of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) just to complete formalities after the death of his daughter, Akshaya, who succumbed to a brain hemorrhage on September 18, 2025. He detailed paying INR 3,000 to an ambulance driver and cash bribes at a police station for FIR and post-mortem documents. His emotional post, highlighting apathy toward a grieving parent, went viral and drew public outrage. Responding swiftly, Bengaluru’s Whitefield Police suspended a PSI and a constable from Bellandur Police Station for alleged misconduct. The department assured strict action against those found guilty, reiterating that such behaviour would not be tolerated. Sivakumar’s post also appealed to industry leaders like Narayana Murthy and Azim Premji to intervene and help reform the city’s crumbling civic and moral systems. IAS Nagarjun Gowda Under Fire for Slashing INR 51 Crore Mining Fine to INR 4,000 After ‘Bribe’, Says ‘No Evidence To Justify Higher Penalty’.
