Opening statement
Disclaimers: I am not knowledgeable in Indian politics or its dialect in English. I understand the author is on an indefinite "semi-wikibreak," and will therefore be keeping this review On Hold until the nominator or another interested party responds to my comments..

In every review I conduct, make small copyedits. These will only be limited to spelling and punctuation (removal of double spaces and such). I will only make substantive edits that change the flow and structure of the prose if I previously suggested and it is necessary. For replying to Reviewer comment, please use ✅,, , ❌, , or , followed by any comment you'd like to make. I will be crossing out my comments as they are redressed, and only mine.. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  23:49, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

References and prose
This is the comment that I shall leave standing for the time being: This article has an abundance of citations (81 at time of writing), but a comparatively negligible amount of prose for it to support. What has been constructed is a skeleton with no muscles. Expand the article, and I will review that. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  23:49, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
 * ❌ Most of the remaining citations are newspaper reports of the type (So and so was hauled up by so and so investigation bureau and was questioned for so and so hours regarding so and so topic, we speculate so and so will also be hauled up later.), which are not really worth adding to the article. The citations however, are needed to prove that so and so bureau did probe the matter. Additionally, later copyedits have reduced the number of citations to 61. — fr&thinsp;+  15:55, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Fallout and investigations

 * Whilst the state objected to the handling of the probe to CBI, a bench of the Court, presided by Chief Justice Nishita Mhatre subsequently held that whilst the motives of Samuel and the legality of his actions might be debatable, that does not undermine the findings of the sting, in any manner and an investigation by an impartial agency shall be proceeded with. Looooong.

GA progress

 * Umm......As much as I had a responsibility to check the talk-pages, what caused you to not ping me, despite mine being mentioned as a co-nom?
 * A good samaritan had merged cites, thus reducing the number of cites to 61.
 * At any case, your comment does not make much sense to me and am hearing such stuff for the first time. Pretty much every significant detail has been covered. &#x222F; <b style="color:#070">WBG</b> converse 20:29, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
 * At any case, I will indulge in a copy-edit session over the course of morrow.Pinging . &#x222F; <b style="color:#070">WBG</b> converse 20:33, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Reply to both: I had assumed Godric would see the changes to the article talk page in his watchlist and that FR30799386 would come back to this in at least several weeks' time. – ♠Vami _IV†♠  17:38, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
