When you deny him, he threatens you that he will fill your office with trivial RTI questions and make your life miserable, While you do not pay attention to his threats. But you become more alert now. In a week, the inevitable starts. Each day, you start receiving hundreds of RTI queries, most of which are trivial and arbitrary.
