He had made a call to one ‘Mac’ at 11.07 pm and also received a call from the same number at 11.10 pm. We are trying to trace this ‘Mac’,” said Shinde.He added the CCTV recordings of the area show Sudhakar at the Amul ice-cream centre at Kandivali east around 10 pm on Wednesday. He was last seen by the watchman of his building when he entered the building. The watchman reportedly told the police that he did not see anybody accompanying Sudhakar. “We will record the statements of the watchman and the two detained persons,” said Shinde.
