The names of various Indians which have been revealed in the ‘Paradise Papers’ need to be objectively investigated without any manipulation and influence (“Probe ordered into ‘Paradise Papers’,” November 7). Also, since there are some names which are there in the Panama leaks and repeated in the Paradise Papers, there seems to be credible evidence of suspicious activity of individual involved. The government has shown its intention to fight black money and needs to expedite the process of investigation, which is often sluggish due to the involvement of affluent people. Any kind of intervention in a transparent investigation might generate impediments and thus denigrate the credibility of the agency involved. A fair, transparent and objective investigation is the need of the hour.

Now that the “Paradise Papers” scandal has broken, one hopes that it does not vanish in the thin air like the Jain diaries’ case years ago. On that occasion too, there were many names of political heavyweights across its pages. What happened afterwards is there for all of us to see.
