Sabotaged!

Mr Nashrat Ali buys an E63 here.

Here we are going through the bank statement and tracing the many transactions in around Vash sector 17. At MARU NX, a mobile shop in Vashi Secctor 17,  we have got the bill for the purchase of a Nokia E63 dating back one month. API Chavan has taken down the IMEI from the bill and requested for the call records from operators all over Mumbai. We hope this will be useful.

Meanwhile there  at Yellowgate Police station API Kishore N Gharate (KiNG) has been  busy derailing all our efforts. I met him last saturday  and was shocked to learn that he has blocked the very account  on which we are working. He says there was 'nothing else they could do'.

I am damn pissed off now. This is an enormous setback.  I can't imagine such stupidity or treachery from our officers.

Enquiries at our friendly ICICI branch has revealed that message posted on the account  reads 'Police Enquiry, Please contact Branch'.

Probably what Mr Gharate meant  'there was no better way' to alert Mr Nashrat Mohammad Ali, who is turning out to be the king of all Car thieves in Mumbai. The account balance was only Rs 13000 at the time of blocking! So what were they hoping to achieve by doing this?

I don't believe that  API Gharate is so dumb as to think that this action will somehow produce this hardened criminal. The only explanation is that Mr Nashrat Ali is an old  customer at Yellow Gate and they are trying to save his ass.

I have now disclosed the names of the main players  because the information is already compromised.

No matter what the police may do to save Mr Nashrat, I am going to continue the investigation. Wish me all the luck.
