The officers of the Criminal Investigation Department probing the murder of Dinesh Shafter, a director of the Jana Shakti Insurance Company, are likely to grill the security guards at his residence and office on various aspects relating to the investigation.

This is with the aim of ascertaining various phases of his behavior and the people with whom he associated.

This security personnel is not being interrogated to obtain leads to the actual murderer, and it is not assumed that they are being questioned under suspicion.

Besides, investigators have uncovered vital information by questioning the drivers working under Dinesh Shafter from time to time.

The Criminal Investigation Department has collected information, paying special attention to queries such as “Has Dinesh Shafter traveled without a driver on any occasion prior to this?” “If so, on what occasions?” “Does he travel with his friends without a driver?”

A senior police officer mentioned that the suspects would be interrogated based on the evidence elicited from investigations.

 

It has been revealed that Dinesh Shafter’s business dealings with people suspected of murder, as well as the very close relationships he maintained with them, have received special attention from the investigators.

It has been found that among these people there is a person who advised Dinesh Shafter on various business transactions. Investigators have also uncovered that the person was very loyal to Dinesh Shafter.

The Criminal Investigation Department has not questioned this person so far, but CID is likely to do so shortly.

Several suspected persons and one of his closest allies were under surveillance, and CID is also probing their connections with others.

It is reported that the CID is continuously analyzing their phones and that necessary measures will be taken to prevent these people from leaving the country.

Mr. Dinesh Shafter’s mobile phone, as well as the footage recorded by the security cameras installed in the house on Flower Road, where he resided, is currently being investigated.

The investigators are currently analyzing the mobile phone numbers exchanged from the telephone towers covering the Borella Public Cemetery and the surrounding area in relation to the murder investigation and are engaged in a tedious investigation to identify suspicious phone numbers.

 

Mobile phone numbers exchanged from towers around the Borella cemetery during the time Shafter left his home and arrived at the cemetery are also being probed.

 

It is to confirm with clear scientific evidence whether the people under suspicion have stayed around the cemetery during this time and to uncover facts about the people who have not been under suspicion so far.
