Though the Supreme Court has transferred the multi-crore ponzi scams to the CBI, it is unfortunate that not much headway has been made in bringing the accused to book (Page 1, “Very, very serious matters in CBI report on Saradha case: SC”, March 27). Can’t the CBI explore other options such as tracing the routing of funds in order to make out a solid case? Instead of sticking to conventional methods of a probe, some out-of-the-box thinking is required by the CBI to get at the truth if it finds itself in a situation where it is facing a hostile State.
Meanwhile, hapless depositors wait with bated breath for the case to reach its logical conclusion and get back their hard-earned money. The matter is even more complicated with the involvement of politicians.
