Bombay HC remarks on slow-paced investigation, orders protection for whistleblower in Torres scam case

The Hindu  

The Bombay High Court on Wednesday came down heavily on the Mumbai Police over the slow-paced investigation into the alleged Torres investment scam, and ordered immediate interim police protection for the Chartered Accountant who is the whistleblower in the case. The High Court directed the EOW to store the entrance and exit CCTV footage of the EOW’s Mumbai office from December 30, 2024 to January 14, 2025. The petition said that two of the company’s directors, Sarvesh Surve and Taufiq Riaz, and an employee, Laxmi Yadav, had tipped off the Mumbai Police about the alleged scam in December 2024, and the police had been aware of the scam since June 2024, but no action had been taken. Additional Public Prosecutor Prajakta Shinde told the Bench that Mumbai Police were awaiting a report to confirm whether Mr. Gupta was facing any threat as he claimed.
