Harassed whistleblower forced to give up fight, buy peace with bank

Here is a story of a retired general manager of a nationalized bank   who was  victimized  after he blew the whistle on his senior, then chairperson and managing director.   
    He moved the Delhi high court for relief when the CVC closed his complaint and the bank hit back. Later he invoked the RTI Act to show the massive amount the bank was spending on lawyers to frustrate him.                                                  
    Unexpectedly he has now given in. A month ago, he signed an agreement with the bank . He has given  an undertaking to the bank  that he will withdraw all cases and contempt petitions filed against  CMD The retired GM has also promised that he will not take the issue to the print and electronic media in future.
