The Chief Minister stated that the arrested individuals work on an all India network and the funding of these networks come from foreign countries.
As quoted from TimesNow, the chief minister said, “we want to transfer the case to the NIA. During the probe we found it is an all India network and is supported via foreign soil. We cannot approach Interpol without the Home Ministry.”
