Mumbai: The Mumbai Crime Branch has questioned Assistant Commissioner of Police Anil Mahabole in connection with journalist J Dey's murder.
The questioning lasted for over six hours in which ACP Mahabole told the police that he had cordial relations with J Dey and had last met him a couple of years ago.
He maintained he had nothing to do with the journalist's murder.
Mr Dey, in his news reports, had alleged that Mr Mahabole had links with the D-Company, the gang operated by Dawood Ibrahim. On Monday, Mr Mahabole was transferred from his position as ACP, Mumbai - Zone 1, to the local arms division. This was Mr Mahabole's second transfer in two years. He had earlier been unceremoniously shunted amid allegations of close ties to Haseena Parker, whose brother is notorious underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
Mr Dey, known for his investigative reports and books on the underworld, was riding his motorcycle in Mumbai's Powai suburb when the four men on two motorcycles pulled up. They shot five bullets at him. He was taken to a local hospital where he was declared dead upon arrival.
