The murder case of the crime reporter of English Tabloid “Mid Day”, Jyotirmoy Dey has been heavy to the Mumbai Police. They had to suffer a lot to collect the proper information and to crack down the accused 7 persons. According to the statement of Mumbai Police Commissioner, they had formed a team of 22 members and assigned them to crack down the case. “The case generated a tremendous amount of outrage and pressure on the crime branch. The entire force, right down to a constable did nothing but concentrate on the case”. Another tremendous pressure was to update the media with whatever progress had been each day.
Three police inspectors, four assistant police inspectors and 15 other stuff members formed the core crime branch teams and operate our operation to crack down the case. The team divided into 3 teams and work day and night to crack the case. They had to spend many sleepless nights before they could arrest the 7 killers. After committing the crime they split up from Mumbai and started travelling the temple towns.
The police came to know that underworld don Chhota Rajan was behind the murder and he hired the 7 persons to kill the reporter. The leader or shooter of the 7 person team, Rohit Thangappan alias Kalya had planned the case, though he had been provided all necessary information and bike number by Rajan.
The actual motive of murder is not clear yet, but the information collected till day, indicates that Mr. Dey had an appointment with the aide of Dowood Ibrahim in England in his last visit. Rajan suspected that Mr. Dey had passed much information about him to D-Company and therefore Rajan had planned so. All these are not clear yet but police has assumed this after interrogating the 7 persons.
