"The case has been transferred to the Crime Branch. This

Marine Drive police on Friday night about the missing papers.
The disappearance of the papers has been brought to the

bureaucrats, politicians' relatives and defence officers.
The missing papers include remarks of the state
government officials and Chief Minister.
