Maharashtra government, on Tuesday evening, said former Mumbai Police commissioner, Rakesh Maria will continue to head the Sheena Bora murder probe till investigation is completed.
Ahmed Javed will be taking over as the Mumbai Commissioner of Police in place of Maria. The order has been officially issued to Maria.
Mumbai police commissioner Rakesh Maria said the DNA report "conclusively proves" that Indrani Mukerjea was the mother of the "deceased Sheena Bora" and that interrogation of her husband and former Star India CEO Peter Mukerjea was underway late at night.
Amid the controversy over a meeting between Mumbai Police commissioner Rakesh Maria and former Indian Premier League (IPL) chief Lalit Modi in London, former Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan has denied any knowledge about the same.
The Maharashtra Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) on Monday claimed to have cracked the July 13, 2011 Mumbai blasts case, in which 27 people were killed and over 130 others injured. Two people, Naqee Ahmed and Nadeem Mukhtar, have been arrested and Yasin Bhatkal, who commissioned the blast and two others involved are yet to be arrested.
