Sisodiya does not have a criminal record in Mumbai,but may have cases against him in Uttarakhand. The weapon might have been sourced from Nepal. Rajan has a network in Nepal, said Roy.

On June 26,the police had arrested seven men who executed the murder. Subsequently,on July 3,the Crime Branch arrested Vinod Asrani alias Vinod Chembur,a bookie and close aide of Rajan,for allegedly helping identify Dey to the other accused.
