CBI inquiry is Bu* Such rackets will continue till we have some stringent laws amounting to severe punishments in such cases . We just had that Noida racket last year. These racket busts never scare them and they are continuing with their activities.
Is there some kind of backing at higher levels...I wonder !!Mr Ramdoss!

His third wife lives in Brampton. Her house is being shown on Indian tv channels. House is equipped with latest gadegets, bullet proof doors and windows, close circuit cameras, etc. Cops have estimated his total assets to be Rs. 35-40 crores. No wonder he was carrying nearly a million Euros cash with him in Nepal.
Is Canada a heaven for these types?

DIo,
He is a PR of Canada.
I read in the voice daily (Desi newspaper of the GTA) that if he had been caught in Canada, then there would have been a hue and cry about transporting him to India as Human rights would have aruged that he would be subjected to torture and that they speculated that he would have hired a good lawyer and would have voided all chanced of being deported to India. So it is good news that he was nabbed in Nepal where the Indian govt. was able to exert pressure to have him exradicated.
