Six months on, 12 charge sheeted for Dey’s murder
December 3rd, 2011 - 3:05 pm ICT by IANSMumbai, Dec 3 (IANS) The Mumbai police Saturday filed a charge sheet against 12 accused in the murder case of journalist Jyotirmoy Dey. The name of woman journalist Jigna Vora, the latest arrest in the six-month-old case, does not figure in the charge sheet.
The charge sheet, filed in the special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court, runs into 3,055 pages and has described in detail the role of 10 men involved in Dey’s murder.
Underworld don Chhota Rajan, who lives abroad in self exile, has also been named in the charge sheet. However, police have mentioned that Rajan and another accused, Nayan Singh, are “absconding”.
Police sources say that journalist Vora’s name and role will be described in detail later in a supplementary charge sheet.
On Friday, a man approached a Mumbai special court here, saying he wanted to surrender SIM cards and mobile phones given to him by Vora — the latest accused in the case.
A deputy bureau chief with a Mumbai daily, Vora was held Nov 25 in connection with the June 11 killing of Dey, the editor (Special Investigations) at Mid-Day.
He was shot dead near his home in Powai in central Mumbai while he was riding home on his motorcycle.
