Mumbai: Mumbai police probing the murder of journalist J Dey have come up with fresh clues. There are four new eyewitnesses in the murder case who were seen in the CCTV footage seized by police.
The four are now helping the police reconstruct the entire sequence of events.
Meanwhile, 40 people from the oil mafia and underworld gangs have been questioned so far; the alleged oil mafia kingpin, Mohammed Ali, is also being questioned by a police team at Nair Hospital where he was taken from Arthur Road jail.
Earlier, the police let off three detained persons, believed to be to be hired by the Chhota Shakeel gang at the behest of an alleged sandalwood smuggler, upset with an expose that Mr Dey was planning.
"The suspects, whom we questioned, appeared to have played no role in the crime, as of now," Joint Police Commissioner (Crime) Himanshu Roy said.
Mateen and Anwar were again called for questioning by the Crime Branch.
Jyotirmoy Dey, who extensively covered the underworld and crime for over two decades, was shot dead by four assailants last Saturday.
