    "A 62-year old woman, a retired assistant general manager of a state bank had been arrested over a financial fraud to the tune of Rs. 68 million by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) yesterday."(Daily Mirror) Who committed the fraud? Bank officer or the CID? "A 62-year old woman, a retired assistant general manager of a state bank had been arrested by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) yesterday over a financial fraud to the tune of Rs. 68 million" Journalists should improve their writing skills to avoid such misinterpretations.

    She has done a good job of securing her gratuity fund. The other one couldn't enjoy it much. Maybe she can spend sometime in jail and then join her partner in crime! Either way, both won't get to enjoy the gratuity they both have worked hard for!
