Scribes murder: Senior cop under scanner

MUMBAI: Two days after journalist J Dey was shot dead, the Mumbai police is examining various possibilities, including the role of a police officer. Dey was shot dead on Saturday afternoon by four bikeborne killers at Powai. Police said they would question assistant commissioner of police Anil Mahabole because Dey had spoken to his friends about threats from the officer. On Monday evening, the government transferred Mahabole from Azad Maidan to Local Arms (control room), considered an insignificant posting. Deys colleague in Mid Day, T K Dwivedi alias Akela, said they were threatened by Mahabole. Dey and I had been working on some stories on Mahaboles links with fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim, Akela told TOI. City police commissioner Arup Patnaik told journalists on Monday evening, I am neither denying or confirming Mahaboles role. He refused to elaborate but said the police had some vital leads.
