There is demand from many quarters, and even from the Central government, to transfer the Gujarat case to the CBI. The Supreme Court, in my opinion, has correctly directed the state CID to carry on with the investigation. Already some upright officers in the CID have courageously and tenaciously uncovered many dark details of the case and there is no reason why they will not be able to carry their investigations to their logical conclusion.
