If you are seeking information that may adversely affect vested interests or if there are chances of having legal/official or illegal fall out, you can apply following method, so that you get the information and still be safe.
Request your distant relative or a friend or any other RTI activists from other states to file RTI application for the information desired by you. You can send him completed application form in his name and address and he has to only attach demand draft or IPO. Where-ever stamps are permitted, you can buy and affix on the application before sending to the relative/friend/activist. He has to just sign and mail to the PIO from his end by speed/regd ad post. On receipt of papers, the same can be mailed to you to proceed further in the matter.
Some trick for a good purpose is always desirable in this bad world!!!
OR alternatively incorporate following para in RTI application/appeal:
"The details of this application/appeal be treated in strictest confidence and should not be revealed to any other person/s, except to the third party u/s 11 of RTI Act 2005, if need be. If any person seeks copy of this application a notice should be served to me u/s 11 and I should be heard before parting with details. PIO and FAA are duty bound not to permit unauthorized access to govt. records. I shall hold PIO/deemed PIO/FAA responsible for unauthorised leakage of details of this application."
