Excerpts from the interview
How was the Malad incident handled?
What happened was unfortunate. But we were on the job throughout the night. We nabbed the accused within 12 hours of the murder. That says everything. Our response was prompt, and we managed to track down the accused.
The deceased’s family has made allegations regarding a delay in medical help...
No. This is incorrect. There was no delay in conducting procedures. The victim was shifted to the nearest hospital immediately. Our teams handled the situation deftly.
How was the accused tracked?
Teams led by our DCP Sunita Salunkhe-Thackeray, with five inspectors, worked throughout the night and scanned the footage and localities. The accused was tracked down with the help of a facial recognition system and his movements tracked. He was arrested by laying a trap.
