Last Updated 06 December 2010, 16:05 IST

"We have questioned at least six officials attached with various departments of the government so far and investigation is moving in the right direction," Joint Police Commissioner (Crime) Himanshu Roy said.

"Apart from the officials, those who have access to the file have also been questioned. There is no breakthrough as such at this point of time. But we hope to crack the case soon," he added.

A day after Gurudas Bajpe, secretary of the Urban Development department, gave a written complaint about the missing documents from a file pertaining to the society, the city's Marine Drive police have registered a case of theft on November 27.

Due to seriousness of the issue, the case has been transferred to Crime Branch that usually probes underworld- related and sensitive cases. The disappearance of the papers has been brought to the notice of UD department by CBI, which is probing into the Adarsh scam, where flats built in Colaba area in the name of Kargil war heroes were alloted to bureaucrats, politicians' relatives and defence officers.

The missing papers include remarks of the state government officials and the then Chief Minister.
