When cops from Hastings Police Station near Kolkata&rsquo;s plush Alipore neighbourhood raided his residence, family members argued with them for little over one hour.

Some tips about the businessman&rsquo;s possible hideout came from a few neighbours, including one Sanjeev Khemka, who said he told cops about places where Khanna would normally be seen if not at home.
&ldquo;Like his family members, he argued for a little over two hours, and then eventually confessed to the crime,&rdquo; Kolkata Police Joint CP (Crime) Pallab Kanti Ghosh said in a telephonic interview.
Ghosh said the cops had also gone to Khanna&rsquo;s office in Central Avenue in north Kolkata and interrogated a 65-year-old staffer, Ajoy Singh, who said he had seen Indrani visiting Khanna &ldquo;a couple of times after divorce&rdquo;.
Singh told the cops that Khanna rarely visited office and mostly operated from home. Ghosh said he was not in a position to offer comments about reports that Khanna had hired killers from the city.
Khanna blamed police Alarmed that Sheena had gone missing, Rahul, Peter Mukerjea&rsquo;s son, had approached a police station in Mumbai and wanted to lodge a complaint, only to be shooed away by the cops.
