Would there be any investigative reporting?

Expensive cars, specially the gas guzzling SUVs are ubiquitous today in Dhaka city. While NBR or the Finance Minister would do nothing about it, even though the government has complete information on the owners of such vehicles, may I encourage some investigative reporting on these please? (DS had a small article on the luxury cars of Dhaka.) What if any young reporter collects the names/addresses of such vehicles from the authority that issues license plates, and then goes on to inquire how much the owners pay in annual income tax? It would be fun to see the numbers; it certainly would rattle some community leaders.
