HIS decision to seal a petrol pump in Lakhimpur district may have cost Manju Nathan, a 27-year-old sales manager with the Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), his life.

Nathan’s body was recovered from a vehicle in Sitapur district this morning. The vehicle, a Maruti car, reportedly belongs to one Monu, the son of Sulakshan Mittal whose petrol pump in Gola area of Lakhimpur district had been sealed by Nathan.

Police have arrested two youths — identified as Vivek Sharma, the driver, and Rakesh Kumar, an employee of Mittal’s petrol pump — who were in the vehicle. Both the youths are in their twenties.

According to reports, Nathan had sealed Mittal Automobile Petrol Pump at Gola, about 50 km away from Lakhimpur district. ‘‘He had also recommended cancellation of the petrol pump’s licence,’’ said an IOC officer on condition of anonymity.

Outraged by the corruption he encountered, he took on the construction mafia pulling up contractors for shoddy work and notifying superiors. Frustrated with inaction, he finally wrote to the Prime Minister urging action. Requesting confidentiality, he detailed the "loot of public money" and "poor implementation".
