The Quint Impact: Kalikho Pul’s Complete Suicide Note Made Public

The suicide note contains names of four top officials in India’s legal fraternity, who demanded bribes from Pul.

A non-profit organisation, Campaign for Judicial Accountability and Reforms (CJAR), this morning made public the full and unexcised version of Arunachal Pradesh’s late chief minister Kalikho Pul’s explosive suicide note that reveals shocking details of bribes paid to and sought by serving and retired high judicial functionaries.

The NGO’s revelation follows The Quint’s two stories in as many parts, headlined ‘Late CM Kalikho Pul Blames Corrupt Law Officers in Suicide Note’ and ‘Late CM Pul: Two Former Topmost Legal Heads Took Rs 64 Cr Bribes’, published between 15 and 16 February.

The suicide note contains the names of four of the highest authorities in India’s legal fraternity who took and demanded bribes from the late Pul. It also contains the names of senior politicians of a particular party who also sought illegal financial gratification from the late chief minister.
