Pleas seeks CBI probe in Gold Quest scam
The Madras high court has ordered notices to the state government and an inspector-general of police-cadre official, on a writ petition seeking CBI probe into the Gold Quest scam and the alleged police complicity with the scamsters.
A division bench comprising Justice P K Misra and Justice K Chandru on a writ petition filed by R Ramesh Kumar. The petitioner contended that four police officers, including inspector-general Thukkaiandi had conspired to conceal evidence collected against the multi-level marketing company by the Sembium police.
He said some of the officials involved in the investigation undermined the probe and suppressed information pertaining to the case which related to lakhs of common people who had lost money in the Gold Quest scam.
Investigating official whittled down the case for extraneous considerations, the petitioner alleged, adding that "name-sake arrests" were made to make the investors believe that the investigation was proceeding on right direction.
