The SIT of Mumbai Crime Branch, investigating the Ghatkopar hoarding case that killed 17 people and injured more than 80, has, for the first time, officially identified Arshad Khan, a businessman, known to former GRP Commissioner Quaiser Khalid, as a wanted accused in the case. A lookout circular has been issued against him after he failed to respond to summons. According to the Crime Branch’s reply opposing Khan’s anticipatory bail application, he received over R1 crore from the company of prime accused Bhavesh Bhinde and has an active role in the case.
The SIT informed the court that they discovered a record of R84 lakh being transferred to 18 different accounts by Bhinde’s company, with the money subsequently withdrawn by Khan. The SIT is currently investigating to determine to whom Khan paid the money.
