Sunny had in February told MiD DAY that he had lost faith in the top brass of Navi Mumbai police – Police Commissioner AK Sharma, DCP Purushottam Karad and Senior Inspector RS Sardesai of Vashi police station— and that their investigations could not be trusted.
“Since some Navi Mumbai police officials are under the scanner in the case, the police could be biased in their investigations. Therefore, the case should be handed over to the CBI,” Sunny had said.
