Saradha's Special 26

The Akshay Kumar-starrer Special 26, in which a group of criminals posing as sleuths rob businessmen and political leaders, saw a real life re-run in Kolkata recently. Interestingly, the victim was none other than Sudipta Sen, the promoter of Saradha, the collective investment scheme that recently went bust. Sen is currently behind bars for the fraud but as he awaits a court verdict, people posing as income tax investigators tried to "raid" his Salt Lake residence. It was his neighbours who suspected something irregular and summoned the local police after which the culprits ran away. Ironically, these are the same neighbours who had been particularly vocal about Sen's perfidies when Saradha folded.
