One too many scams...

CNN-IBN exposed a scam today..."pay goons, get votes" for the local polls in Mumbai. The Election commissioner of Maharashtra immediately retorted that any such irregularities should be reported to the Mumbai Police and stern action would be immediately taken against the erring parties.

One obvious question comes to mind - Are the election commissioners and the police officers not aware of such incidents during elections??? Or is it that they wait with folded hands for a widely followed news channel to expose and some other party to report this to them before they decide to move into action? If so, my belief is that this too is a scam!!!
