New Delhi, June 2
The Delhi Police is working overtime to narrow down on the three persons, which would indicate whether the death of Moitra and the hospitalisation of Rahul Mahajan was a part of a conspiracy.
Senior police officials said once they had the CFSL report on the nature of the white powder that was recovered from the victims, it would be clear whether it was mixed with the Champagne.
The police was also trying to ascertain whether the two servants had cleared the room on their own or were instructed to do so. These are the questions, which the investigators are now trying to get the answers for. The police is also trying to get the numbers of contacts of both Rahul and Moitra who had called them on the fateful night.
Secondly, the police was also questioning Sudhanshu Mittal, a close friend of Rahul, and Harish Sharma, the private secretary to late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, to get more information about the mystery about the incident.
According to police officials, three unidentified persons are suspected to have entered late Mahajan’s official residence here at Safdarjang Lane around 11 p.m. and left the place after a couple of hours. At around 1.30 a.m. both Rahul and Moitra were found losing their consciousness.
“The servants present in the party first observed Moitra losing consciousness and later found Rahul also in an unconscious condition,” said a senior police official.
