00The police were investigating the case but they were unable to get to the root cause [NOT root of the cause]... --- Now, I don't know what this means. Police don't look for "causes" - they look for clues, evidence, suspects, etc. Do you mean "motive"? They were unable to discover the suspects' motives?02br

0 Hi,02br
00The police investigated the case, but were unable to get to the root cause (or, simply, couldn't solve it). Some people even accused them of operating in collusion with the real culprits (sounds better I think). Consequently, the case was handed over to the CBI. 02br

0You have made it too strong. Originally it was that the police were perhaps ignoring evidence. That is a big difference from actively working with the real criminals.0-

0Thanks once again, Grammar Geek! You're right. I guess I was being too harsh on Indian Police (I could tell from the context that it is Indian Police that we are talking about)! Thanks for your comment!02br
