The way CBI is behaving in this case, its becoming more and more evident that everybody is somewhere involved in the scam! So far court is pushing hard.. i hope it continues and we see some progress there. Its been close to 3 months, CBI is handling the case and nothing substantial has been done! They even shut Aarushi case.. shame on them.

it would be like always the big fish will escape and some small fish will be caught and the case will drag after his death. it's a shame that we tolerate and the politicians are not to be blamed.

is it make a sense to raid the houses of VIP peoples involved in this scam after so many, they have got enough time to destroy evidence and to save themselves

The case registered is Section 420. Those of petty crimes.
CBI, it seems has taken up a minor part of the big crime and is fooling around as if it is doing a damn big investigation.
RTI should be there for CBI also which shall enable one to know the nature of the investigation.

don't think any thing new is going to take place.... as always after few days or months people will stop talking about this and things will go on snails speed.....
