Lajpat Nagar heist: Cops likely to contact Mum police over

Delhi Police may contact their Mumbai counterparts to trace the hawala trail which is believed to be the source of the money robbed in the Lajpat Nagar heist with suspicions now arising over businessman Rajesh Kalra's alleged Dubai links.
Delhi Police have tumbled upon Kalra's alleged links to bookies in London and Dubai and it has also been found that the businessman had close ties with actor Vindoo Dara Singh, who is facing charges in the IPL match fixing case.
Kalra's phone records suggest he was in constant touch with people in Dubai, Jaipur, Mumbai and London, police said.
A day before the robbery, Kalra had spoken to a Dubai number for around 20 minutes, police sources said.

Meanwhile, senior officials of the South-East district police and Crime Branch today questioned several people, including employees of Kalra, his manager and businessman Rakesh Kumar at Special Staff Office at Madangir.
"We also questioned Kalra's business partner Rahul Ahuja, but there is still no breakthrough in the case," said a senior police officer.

Police suspect that among Kalra's contacts were Chandresh Jain alias Jupiter, a Jaipur-based bookie who was arrested over the IPL spot-fixing scandal, and London-based bookie Sanjeev Chawla, whose name had cropped up as the main fixer in the 2000 Hansie Cronje match fixing case.
With reports emerging of Kalra's strong connections with betting circles, police are also probing any possible betting racket related to the ongoing India-New Zealand cricket series.

Doubts have also been raised over the actual amount robbed on Tuesday with police saying it could have been much more than the stated figure of Rs 8 crore with police saying foreign currency may have also been a part of the loot.
