Mumbai Police : Police gain access to J Dey’s e-mails

Claming that significant progress had been made in the investigations into the murder of veteran investigative journalist J Dey, the Mumbai Police Crime Branch sources indicated that the probe had gained momentum after fresh leads were obtained recently from Dey’s e-mail communications.

The Crime Branch investigators managed to gain access to Dey’s personal e-mail account only a couple of days ago and are currently scanning a large volume of mails for clues.

“It took some time, but we have finally managed to gain access to his personal e-mail account and are working on some information we have unearthed. The volume of data is huge, but we are scanning through each and every mail so that we do not miss any leads,” said a Crime Branch officer, who did not wish to be named.

“The hard disk from Dey’s personal laptop has also been analysed along with data from his office computer and e-mail. We are also scrutinising his personal notebooks and diaries as part of an analysis into his professional work. For instance, while trying to ascertain any future or unfinished projects he was working on, we found that he was assisting with some film scripts,” said the officer.
