Days after they claimed that no calls were made or received on Revenue Minister Eknath Khadse's phone number from underworld don Dawood Ibrahim's number, the Mumbai Police today said a probe into the matter is still on as some "new elements" have emerged in the case.


"Neither calls were made nor received at the said number of the Minister during period September 4, 2015 to April 5, 2016, that we spoke about. But after that we got some new elements into which our investigation is on," Mumbai Police Commissioner Dattatray Padsalgikar told reporters on the sidelines of an event at a suburban police station.


Padsalgikar, however, declined to divulge any further information on these "new elements". He also parried questions on whether Khadse was given a 'clean chit' by the Mumbai police. Aam Aadmi Party spokesperson Preeti Sharma Menon had last week alleged that Khadse had received several calls from Dawood's wife Mehjabeen Shaikh's number between September 4, 2015 and April 5, 2016.
