Opposition NCP on Thursday demanded an ED&nbsp;probe into "money laundering" angle in finances of INX Media,&nbsp;founded by Indrani Mukerjea, the prime accused in Sheena Bora&nbsp;murder case, and her husband Peter Mukerjea, while hinting&nbsp;that such investigation will unravel a "big name".&nbsp;
"If the investigation is done in details with proper&nbsp;monitoring, a big name will be exposed," NCP spokesman Nawab&nbsp;Malik told reporters here.&nbsp;

The Mumbai police investigating the murder case had asked&nbsp;Enforcement Directorate (ED) to look into and probe financial&nbsp;transactions of the accused in this case and into the business&nbsp;ventures floated by Indrani and Peter.
The NCP leader termed as a "damage control exercise" the&nbsp;Maharashtra government's move to give a supervisory role to&nbsp;former Mumbai police commissioner Rakesh Maria in the Sheena&nbsp;Bora murder investigation even after his abrupt removal from&nbsp;the post on Tuesday.
Maria, who was frontlining the investigations into the&nbsp;murder case, was promoted as Director General (Homeguards) in&nbsp;the middle of probe ahead of his due promotion.&nbsp;
"The decision to give supervisory role to Maria even after&nbsp;shunting him out as Mumbai CP is legally not tenable. Even&nbsp;Maria, now DG (Home Guards) is not keen to continue his&nbsp;involvement in the investigation of the case," Malik said.
The NCP leader alleged that Maria was shunted out as the&nbsp;name of an industrialist close to a top BJP leader had cropped&nbsp;up in the course of investigations into the case and that&nbsp;Maria was close to unearthing money laundering in INX Media.&nbsp;
"Even after Indrani was remanded in judicial custody,&nbsp;Peter was being interrogated about investment of Rs 500 crore&nbsp;from Singapore and UK (in INX Media)...and name of an&nbsp;industrialist close to a top BJP leader cropped up during the&nbsp;investigation. Maria was shunted out to stop the name from&nbsp;being revealed," he claimed.
Malik said after he made this charge on day of Maria's&nbsp;transfer, Additional Chief Secretary (Home) K P Bakshi spoke&nbsp;to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis who is on tour of Japan&nbsp;and the decision to keep Maria in supervisory role in the&nbsp;murder case was taken.
Indrani, her former husband Sanjiv Khanna and driver&nbsp;Shyamvar Rai haave been arrested on charges of murdering her&nbsp;daughter Sheena Bora and disposing of the body at Pen forest&nbsp;in Maharashtra's Raigad district in April 2012.
