Wow! Within days of the end of the money looting Commonwealth Games the CBI has raided offices and collected documents of its first suspect. Who is the lucky person? Not anyone from the Congress government in Delhi or at the center. Nor anyone from the various dens of thieves called MCD, NDMC, PWD, CPWD or the Organising Committee. No, the honor of being the first suspect goes to Sudhanshu Mittal, a BJP leader. Attack, after all, is the best form of defence and who knows that better than the Congress. Meanwhile the CBI has been unable to make any progress in one year against the Congress comrade Mr. Raja, the Telecom minister in the 2G scam. While the CBI is unable to make out any case against officials at the Department of Telecom, DOT another investigator CAG has found that DOT officials were complicit in leaking details of policy to certain companies resulting in a loss of Rs. 1 trillion to the state. This strategic one year delay by the CBI has allowed officials to continue working at the DOT and to obstruct any form of enquiry or investigation. Whether key evidence has been destroyed already we do not know but it is quite usual for files to go missing in India. When pressed by the Supreme Court CBI officials asked for six more months to investigate in India and overseas. It is so wonderful how often CBI finds evidence abroad. We remember how they had to visit so many tourist spots overseas while chasing big Q without catching sight of him. They have done St. Kitts. May I suggest Monaco or Martinique. Dubai, if wives have run out of perfumes. They should beware. If the cover up is too obvious the capo will not be pleased.
