Two police inspectors and a senior police officer of Mumbai police are under the scanner and are likely to be summoned by the NIA in a day or two in connection with Mansukh Hiran's murder case. Sachin Waze, the key accused, has reportedly told NIA that on March 6, a day after Hiran's body was found, he destroyed five mobile phones, including his official one.The NIA is taking help of experts to retrieve the data of Waze's official mobile phone, which would be digital evidence in the Hiran murder case. Sources said Waze was using 13 phones.A hotelier, whose statement was recorded by the NIA on Thursday, has reportedly said that on March 3, when he went to hand over the 'hafta collection' to Waze, he had seen him, Hiran, arrested constable Vinayak Shinde and a cop of the crime branch in a meeting. Sources said NIA wants to question this inspector.NIA also wants to question a senior cop who had allegedly called up a businessman from South Mumbai to pay a bill of Rs 13 lakh for Waze's stay in a five-star hotel.The businessman told NIA he had lodged a complaint that a jeweller had cheated him of Rs 50 or 60 lakh, and the senior cop had told him that if he paid the hotel bill, Waze will help him recover his money.ATS probes have found that the plot to kill Hiran was hatched on March 2 during a two-hour meeting Waze held with two of his colleagues at police headquarters. The ATS has handed over a detailed probe report it had carried out during the last 15 days.
