Days after the death of Mansukh Hiren and the planting of the explosives-laden car near Mukesh Ambani's residence, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh on Monday, March 8, said that the necessary investigation is being done in the case.

While addressing the state Assembly, Deshmukh said, "The necessary investigation is being done in the death of Mansukh Hiren's death and the planting of the explosives-laden car near Mukesh Ambani's residence. Whosoever is found to be guilty will not be spared."

After Hiren's wife expressed suspicion that her husband may have been murdered, the ATS registered a case against unidentified persons under IPC Sections 302 (murder), 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence) and 120(b) (criminal conspiracy), the minister added.

He also said that the state police were capable of solving the case of auto parts dealer Mansukh Hiren's death. However, the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has begun its probe into it.

Moreover, he clarified that the investigation of Mansukh Hiren death case will remain with the ATS and the case related to the recovery of explosives in a car near Mukesh Ambani's house will be probed by NIA.
