Mumbai, May 27 (SocialNews.XYZ) In a major move, the Maharashtra government has handed over the Anway Naik death case for re-investigation to the Crime Intelligence Department, officials said here on Wednesday.
In a late night development on Tuesday, Home Minister Anil Deshmukh gave the green signal in the matter, said an aide.
Naik and his mother Kumud Naik committed suicide under suspicious circumstances in May 2018 and an offence was registered by the Alibaug Police Station in Raigad.
Naik's daughter Aadnya had written to Deshmukh complaining that the investigations were not conducted in a proper manner by the police, following which the Home Department ordered a re-probe by the CID.
In her complaint, Aadnya contended that Arnab Goswami of Republic TV had not paid her father's dues, pushing him and her grandmother to commit suicide.
She said she was unhappy with the investigations carried out into the case and urged that under the CrPC Sec. 173(8), the case should be handed over to the CID besides seeking action against the officials who handled the matter in 2018.
Late on Tuesday, Deshmukh ordered the reopening of the case and a fresh probe by the CID by sending relevant orders to the Director-General of Police, Additional DGP Mumbai and State CID, Pune, said the aide.
