BJP legislator Ashish Shelar on Friday demanded in the Maharashtra assembly that the police probe into the death of Nitin Desai must also look for the “person” behind Rashesh Shah of Edelweiss Group, one of the lenders of the noted art director's N D Studio.

Shelar said the government must investigate if anyone else was trying to buy the debt-hit studio from Shah and if Desai was pressured on behalf of that “customer”. He accused Shah and his company of setting up a “modern-day moneylending” business.
