Dressed in track pants and a half-sleeved shirt at his residence, a relaxed but busy former Lokayukta Justice Santosh Hegde shared with MiDDAY how former CM B S Yeddyurappa's arrest is a lesson for corrupt politicians, why his wife is not happy and what his daily routine is like after retirement, and much more.

Would Yeddyurappa's arrest be a lesson for corrupt politicians?
The mining report is an important event in my career as Lokayukta. For a year, five officers worked with me day and night on the report without taking a single day of leave. We had to go through four lakh documents for compiling the report. Yeddyurappa's arrest shows that the judiciary is taking things seriously. Everyone is equal in the eyes of law and nobody should think that he could get away because he is rich and powerful.
