Chhota Rajan suspected Dey leaked info to D-gang: Cops

MUMBAI: A day after Mumbai police claimed to have successfully cracked the J Dey murder case, they said the senior journalist was supposed to have met Dawood Ibrahim aide Iqbal Mirchi during his visit to England last month. However, they suspect, the meeting never took place. It has been reported that one reason fugitive don Chhota Rajan might have got Dey gunned down was because he feared Dey was passing on information about him to the D-gang. He was in particular alarmed since he believed the supposed rendezvous with Mirchi did occur. The police are now trying to corroborate their suspicion by ascertaining the identity of the man Dey met in London. On Tuesday, we phoned the tour operators guide Dey used to enquire about his stay in England. The guide told us that Dey broke away from the scheduled programme to visit someone, said a senior official. We are next going to show him pictures of Dawood and Mirchi to confirm our suspicion. Cops on Tuesday said that the seven accused have divulged the motive behind Deys killing on June 11, but it is still being verified. Rajan told Satish Kalia (the gunman) about the motive after the murder. During interrogation, Kalia revealed it to us but we are verifying his claims since it is a sensitive case, joint commissioner (crime) Himanshu Roy told PTI. The police intend to invoke Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, 1999, against the seven arrested men. And Rajans name will be added to list of the accused. Deys Europe visit, the police say, is a major piece of the mystery behind the sensational murder. The senior scribe, cops claim, paid Rs 45,000 to the tour operator by cheque and another Rs 45,000 by cash. Also, he ostensibly left his mobile phone switched on in Mumbai while away on the trip that lasted about 10 days.
