Update on the murder of journalist J Dey.

A day after his abrupt transfer, a senior police officer, who could be questioned in connection with the murder of veteran journalist J Dey, said that he was
being falsely implicated in the case and the allegations against him were absurd.
"The allegations against me in the case (Dey's killing) are absurd and wrong. I have nothing to do with the case. I hope the investigating officials would be able to detect the case early and catch the culprits soon to clear the air,"
Assistant Police Commissioner Anil Mahabole told reporters at his residence in south Mumbai today. 

He also denied media reports linking him with the underworld.
"Media is being fed by some people against me. They (some people) are the ones who are trying to falsely implicate me in Dey's case," he said.
When asked who they were, he replied, "I do not know. You find out."
He said he had a very cordial relation with Dey, whom he met two to three years ago.

Mahabole was yesterday abruptly shunted to Local Arms Control Room in suburban Naigaon from the in-charge post of Azad Maidan division in south Mumbai. "I have no idea about my transfer. I am on a leave for three days. After I resume duty, I will do whatever job I would be given. If I feel that injustice was meted out to me through the transfer, I would request my seniors to look into my transfer once again," he said.
