Digging deeper into the Laila Khan murder case, a team from Crime Branch visited her Igatpuri bungalow and recovered two iron rods and many wooden sticks that were allegedly used in the murder of the starlet and her five relatives. On the other hand, cops have also detained seven locals from the area as they were acquainted with the absconding accused Shakir Hussain. Three of them are females. Shakir was working as a watchman at the bungalow and allegedly helped prime accused Parvez Tak carry out the killings in February 2011.
