Mumbai: The #SheenaMurderMystery on Friday was handed over to the CBI with the Maharashtra government stating that the move will ensure that no state government officer is involved with the investigations.
“Sheena Bora case is not a simple case of murder, but there are financial links to the murder,” Maharashtra’s additional chief secretary (Home) K P Bakshi said while making this announcement.
“There could be economic links to the murder and hence a complete and detailed probe was needed. This decision will ensure that no state government officer will be linked to the probe,” K P Bakshi added.
“It is now for the Centre to accept our request and if we get the nod we will hand all the papers to the CBI.”
Meanwhile, the senior state government official once again denied that the transfer of former Mumbai top cop Rakesh Maria was linked to the murder probe. He also said the present Mumbai CP Ahmed Javed was not interested in probing the case.
