    My guess is that FCID had to arrest him because the evidence came directly from USA government (FBI, NSA) and therefore could not be hidden or destroyed like it seems to be happening with most other cases.

    Next remanded. Admitted to hospital. Released on bail. The matter forgotten. We need to have gratitude for laying asphalt at the correct time. Cheers !

    All office bearers of last regime who are relatives of MR seems to be ace rogues and robbers. It seems that they were appointed to such posts giving license to rob mercilessly.

    Is he sick? Does the government wants to force him to undertake a medical checkup like the others did?
