Scam in 10th APBn: CID probe begins

The Criminal Investigation Department is spreading its tentacles to unearth the truth behind the Rs 30 crore scam that rocks the Tenth Assam Police Battalion.

For the last two days, the investigating wing of the Assam Police has seized a huge number of official documents relating to the scam for the period from 1998 to 2001 from the Kahilipara based headquarters.

According to sources, as many as twenty officials are likely to be on CID dragnet soon.

It is definitely heartening to read about the C.I.D probe into the scam in the 10th APBn. However I do wonder if we will ever come to know about the identity of the guilty officers? There have been many investigations ordered before this but its only the ones at the lowest level who get implicated. Can we expect something different this time? Can we expect the investigating officers to not go soft on their colleagues? Only time will tell!!
