What is CID is trying to prove here ? That the assassinate plot was openly discussed among all these police personnel ? One thing is certain ... this plot was designed to hide something else that needs serious attention of the CID. Whoever initiated this whole song and dance need to be investigated in a dark room with a bright light to identify who is really behind this plot.
