Initial shock: Bihar repeats in Andhra

The flood relief scam in Bihar landed its architect Gautam Goswami behind bars. He had issued cheques in the name of BSSIC that should have gone to Bihar State Small-scale Industries Corporation, the suppliers of relief material. But the cheques went to another BSSIC, Baba Satya Sai Industries Corporation, spawned by crooks for swindling money.
In Andhra, the money was supposed to paid to VW India Ltd. (Volkswagen India Limited). But crooks had floated a Vashistha Vahan India to cash it.
God knows how many more such dubious accounts with doublemeaning initials operate in this country.
P.S. I'm reading God knows by Heller. Quite funny and uniquely so.
