Dear Mr.Kapoor, KIC has in fact provided the information.
I have copy - pasted this paragraph which was at the end of the post: The Panchyat Secretary & Bill Collector Appeared Before the KIC and have Apologized for the unwarranted Resolution and Passing Records that the Applicant is from Criminal Back ground . They have also Provided Nearly 800 Pages of Information free . The applicant has been advised to File defamation cases on all Officers & Panchyat Members . Regards.
