Boggling the imagination

Still on the theme of crime, Deccan Herlad reports that the public auction of three of the stamp-scam kingpin Telgi's prime properties in Bangalore turned out to be a damp squib. Only one was picked up, at the starting price, and that by the owner of the adjacent property. The owner is a well-known hotel group. Other two auctions put off 'sine die' after officials "waited all day for a prospective buyer." That must boggle the imagination of anyone who's been to property auctions conducted by the BDA in Bangalore in the recent past.

Seems inevitable though - not sure if anyone involved expected any other outcome. Sometimes, we are called on to make a decision : get involved with a gangster's lot or not? And we wisely choose the latter and are safe.
