A corruption scandal in 19th century India led to efforts to intimidate Indian witnesses against the accused British official. Litigation in India fueled a political pressure campaign in London producing questions in the House of Commons. Negotiations between London, Bombay, and Calcutta led to a compromise that saw Indians fired from government servants, but still being paid and eligible for pensions. But this buyout failed to deal with the shame and stigma the fired officials faced.
