SAIL perfects the art of 'Internal Investigation' by appointing the accused to investigate the accuser.
The Steel Authority of India (SAIL) has pioneered a revolutionary marketing strategy: selling high-grade steel at massive discounts to 'fictitious' infrastructure projects.

When a whistleblower dared to report the scam, the management responded with 'unmatched speed,' suspending him within days. In a masterstroke of administrative efficiency, an officer allegedly involved in the questionable transactions was appointed to lead the inquiry, which—to everyone's complete surprise—found the allegations to be 'imaginary and malicious.'
