Mumbai: Following a plea by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), a special court on Tuesday directed that a letter be issued to competent authority in Nepal in connection with information required by the agency on the stay of three accused in the case in the neighbouring country after involvement in Hiren’s murder.
The agency has alleged that three of them - Santhosh Shelar, Satish Mothkuri and Manish Soni stayed in Nepal after the murder of automobile businessman Hiren.
NIA: Evidence may be tampered if notice not issued
It was to Hiren that the SUV with gelatin sticks was traced after being parked outside industrialist Mukesh Ambani’s residence Antilia. The NIA had told the court that if the notice if sought is not issued, the evidence may be tampered with. Special Judge AM Patil considered the submission while issuing the request.
