Shayan Munshi questioned in Jessica Lall murder case by SIT

New Delhi, May 15 (UNI) Prime witness in the Jessica Lall murder, actor Shayan Munshi was today questioned by the Delhi Police in connection with the alleged lapses during investigations which led to the acquittal of all the nine accused in the case.

Munshi, who arrived here last night, was questioned at the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) office in South Delhi's Qutub Institutional Area by sleuths of the Special Investigation Team (SIT), formed to look into the case 'afresh'.

Before entering the EOW premises for interrogation, which began this afternoon, Munshi told reporters that he was not aware that any 'lookout notice' had been issued against him.

He also said he had not been informed by the Delhi Police about any such notice.

The actor, who had turned hostile during trial into the case, was brought to Delhi last night following a summons issued by the Delhi police for him to join investigations.

Munshi was detained at the Kolkata Airport on Saturday last while he was to board a flight for Hong Kong.

The SIT had issued lookout notices against several persons, soon after the case fell in the lower court here early this year, which included socialite Bina Ramani, her daughter Malini and Shayan Munshi.
