A team led by police inspector Dinesh Chauhan from the Kurukshetra crime branch in Haryana arrived here on Monday and questioned Jadhav and Mahakal, suspects in the case of murder of Moosewala. Jadhav was arrested by Pune rural police from Bhuj in Gujarat on Sunday. "Vikram Brar is a wanted accused in Haryana. Since Jadhav and Mahakal were said to be in contact with Brar, we came here to question both the accused to know the whereabouts of Brar," Chauhan said. The official said they asked Jadhav about how he and others used to communicate with Brar. "He told us that he used to communicate with Brar through the internet calling (facility), but also said he has not been in touch with Brar of late," the official added.
