Ibrahim Shaikh — prime accused in the murder of Vinod Broker (83), and his secretary Usha Nair (51) — has been trying to mislead them say cops. Wary of his antics, police officials have kept Ibrahim and his two accomplices — Ravindra Reddy and Nitin Bhatia — separated.

“If they are kept together, they may cook up a story to hoodwink the cops. So, we have kept Ibrahim in the Cantonment police station and the other two accused are in Bund garden police station,” said senior inspector Shivaji Kamble of Koregaon Park Police Station.
