Mumbai: A woman
reporter with an English newspaper here was Friday arrested for
alleged involvement in senior journalist Jyotirmoy Dey's killing,
police said.
Jigna Vora had allegedly provided Dey's mobile number and his
location to mafia don Chhota Rajan, who claimed responsibility for
the sensational June 11 killing.
Vora was arrested after being summoned by the Mumbai Police Crime
Branch for investigation. She has worked with several Mumbai-based
newspapers and is the eighth person to be arrested in the case.
She will be presented before a special Maharashtra Control of
Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court here.
Dey, 56, Mid Day's editor for special investigations, was gunned
down near his residence in central Mumbai's Powai by
motorcycle-borne assailants.
Vora has been described as friendly with the late Dey and
mediapersons, especially the crime journalists here, are shocked
by the sudden turn of events leading to her arrest.
