Sunny said he has lost faith in the top brass of Navi Mumbai police Police Commissioner AK Sharma, DCP Purushottam Karad and Senior Inspector RS Sardesai of Vashi police station and that their investigations could not be trusted. “Since some Navi Mumbai police officials are under the scanner in the case, the police could be biased in their investigations. Therefore, the case should be handed over to the CBI,” Sunny said.

Hours after his father was killed on Saturday morning, Sunny wrote a letter (copy available with MiD DAY) to Home Minister RR Patil, demanding the investigations be handed over to the CBI. According to Sunny, Emmanuel Samuel Amolik, the former cop who was arrested yesterday in connection with the murder, is closely associated with Suresh Bijlani, his father’s rival. “Amolik was a bodyguard for Bijlani for 10 years”, said Sunny.
