A heartbreaking social media post by a retired Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) officer from Bengaluru has moved thousands online after he shared how he was forced to pay bribes at every step while dealing with the death of his only daughter.
The man, identified as K Sivakumar, who introduced himself as the former Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of BPCL, wrote an emotional note on social media platform LinkedIn describing the corruption and apathy he faced while completing official formalities after his 34-year-old daughter, Akshaya, died.
Akshaya, who had worked for 11 years, including eight years at Goldman Sachs, died at home due to a brain hemorrhage on September 18, 2025. She held a B.Tech in Computer Science and an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad.
In his post, which has since been deleted, Sivakumar said he had to pay bribes to almost everyone, from ambulance operators and police officials to staff at the crematorium and the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) office, just to complete the necessary formalities and get the required documents.
