By all means the CBI should probe Dr. Amit Kumar and Co. from all angles but this should not prevent them from putting up a charge sheet against him and his accomplices in at least one case. Delay normally kills even strong cases and this one is no exception. The right course should be to complete investigations in one or two cases out of the scores of them and start the prosecution without waiting for details of his foreign exchange assets abroad or in India or whatever related issues.

The investigation can continue in related aspects without prejudice to the prosecution in one or two cases in which the investigation has been completed. The probe in foreign assets may be newsy but it need not hold back substantive action. Each case against the accused is a stand-alone case and it will be wise to prosecute him in each case separately.

By the way why is it that the state is fighting shy of prosecuting those who allowed this racket to thrive for as many as 10 years and more?
