The Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU) probing the Angadia (traditional couriers) extortion case is likely to visit Uttar Pradesh soon to trace suspended Mumbai Deputy Commissioner of Police Saurabh Tripathi, an absconding accused in the case, an official said on Monday.

He said the crime branch has sought permission from top officers to travel to Kanpur, where Tripathi's residence is located. A team of four officials, including an Assistant Police Inspector (API), will travel to UP, he added.
