Brahmbhatt is a lawyer who is said to be close to police officials such as DG Vanjara and GL Singhal, the main accused in the case. “Besides the policemen, Brahmbhatt had also played some role in the killing of the four persons, so he has been summoned for interrogation,” a CBI official involved in the probe said. htc
