Amboli police officers may soon have some explaining to do. The deputy commissioner of police (Zone IX) yesterday ordered an enquiry against them to determine if they were negligent in their investigations of Karan Kakkad’s murder case.

“We have initiated an enquiry to find out who is responsible for not initiating the investigations immediately after his brother Hanish and mother Rita approached the police to report that Karan was missing,” said Pratap Dighavkar, DCP (zone IX). Karan’s older brother Hanish claimed that when he had approached the Amboli police on March 9 to register a missing person’s complaint for his brother, the cops had not taken him seriously.
