India's Lokpal has cancelled a Rs 5-crore tender to purchase seven luxury BMW cars, following widespread criticism from opposition parties and civil society. The anti-corruption watchdog's decision to procure high-end vehicles for its chairperson and six members drew accusations of wasteful spending and undermined its mandate for transparency. The cancellation was formalized through a corrigendum issued on December 16, 2025, after a resolution by the Lokpal's full bench.
