MUMBAI: Maharashtra government today transferred the probe into high profile Sheena Bora murder case to the CBI stating that the move will ensure that no state government officer is involved with the investigations.
“Sheena Bora case is not a simple case of murder, but there are financial links to the murder”, Maharashtra’s additional chief secretary (Home) KP Bakshi told media.
“There could be economic links to the murder and hence a complete and detailed probe was needed,” he said.
“This decision will ensure that no state government officer will be linked to the probe,” KP Bakshi said, slamming certain sections of the media for intentionally conveying an impression that the state government was interfering with the investigations.
“It is now for the Centre to accept our request and if we get the nod we will hand all the papers to the CBI,” he said.
