Mumbai: Mumbai Crime Branch chief Rakesh Maria has written a letter to Home Department clarifying
allegations made by slain IPS officer Ashok Kamte's widow.
"We have received the letter from Maria explaining his side but he has not said anything about the resignation," Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Chandra Iyengar said today declining to divulge the contents of the letter.
Maria had met Iyengar last week after the release of the book "To The Last Bullet", penned by Kamte's wife Vinita, wherein she had accused the officer of mishandling the situation on 26/11.
She had also questioned why Maria, who took charge of Police Control Room during the 59-hour siege, had denied knowledge of how Ashok, Additional Police Commissioner (East), landed up in Cama Hospital despite having himself asked him to go there.
Iyengar said she would be meeting Maria regarding the letter and resolve the issue in consultation with the Chief Minister and Home Minister.
Maria was upset with the allegations levelled against him and wanted to clarify the circumstances, Iyengar had said earlier.
