Crime Branch to use father and son as witnesses
By Dinesh Kamath

NAVI MUMBAI: It is decided that the father and son who are in the custody of the crime branch in connection with the Navi Mumbai builder Sunil Lahoria murder case will be made to appear in the court as witnesses against builder Suresh Bijlani and architect Anuragh Garg.

Gerald Bhovin (67), a vehicle service centre owner and his son Jackson (28) are the father and son duo arrested by Crime Branch on Wednesday for delivering twice a packet containing money to retired police inspector Emmanuel Amolik as directed by Garg's driver.

The two had no direct role but the Crime Branch believes that they will serve as strong witnesses.

Both the father and son were made to pass on to Amolik bags containing money twice, once before the murder of Lahoria and another after the murder.

Another fact that came to light was that Bhovin is a friend of both Bijlani and Garg. The police also have come across an interesting information that Garg has nearly 29 cars and the police is trying to confirm this info.
