Das was flown to Mumbai from Kolkata last evening and is understood to have been brought face-to-face with the accused. His statement has been recorded and his sample taken for DNA test.

A senior police official told PTI that Mumbai Police Commissioner Rakesh Maria is likely to brief the media soon on progress of investigation so far.
