I think the group appointed for investigation suits better then investicating the case.

No, as the group is a singular collective noun, so were should be replaced with was.

Don't you people think that there should be a preposition after "investigating" ?

I also think so. It can be "in the meeting" and of course "was" is right answer.
Vamsi said:

Were is used for a particular person (like "if I were") so was is correct here.

"group" is a singular entity. therefore, "was" is correct.

Why not option B) "that the groups appointed for investigating the case"?

What is the difference between "at the meeting" or "in the meeting"?

Not sure about "in" or "at" meeting? Please tell me the difference.

Agree with Vertika and Rameshraja. Group is a single entity.
