Mumbai: Politician arrested, TV-actress detained after diamantaire found dead

The death of diamantaire Rajeshwar Udani in Mumbai has led the police to arrest a politician and detain a prominent television actress, officials said on Saturday. The politician has been identified as Sachin Pawar, a former member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and the actress is Devoleena Bhattacharjee, who shot to stardom after playing Gopi Bahu in soap Saath Nibhana Saathiya. Here's more.

What happened
Udani went missing and police got to action

57-year-old Udani went missing on November 28, and his family approached the police. They launched a search operation and Udani's phone was traced to Rabale, Navi Mumbai, before losing signal. After he remained untraced till December 4, police registered a kidnapping case. Later, his heavily decomposed body was found on December 5. His clothes and shoes helped his son identify the body.

Details
He got into another vehicle after his driver dropped him

Udani's driver told police he had asked to be dropped at Pant Nagar market after which he got into another vehicle. Police believe the murderers killed him at some other place and dumped the body at Panvel forest. Call records of Udani revealed he was a regular at some bars and was in touch with some women in the entertainment industry.

Udani knew women of entertainment industry through Pawar

Udani knew these women through Pawar, who is a former aide of Maharashtra Minister, Prakash Mehta. Mehta admitted that Pawar was close to him from 2004 to 2009, but he severed all ties with him. Pawar was sacked from BJP after he fought BMC election as an independent candidate. Till now police have questioned nearly two dozen persons and further investigation is underway.

Information
More actresses could be summoned for questioning

While police remained tight-lipped on Devoleena's role they hinted other actresses from the industry could be summoned for questioning. They are also tracing the vehicle which came to pick the victim after his driver dropped him.
