The 48-year-old trader from Karol Bagh told HT on Monday that he now plans to approach the Delhi High Court seeking that the inquiry be transferred to either the Crime Branch or the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

"We are unhappy with the investigation by the police station staff and the Metro unit which is dealing with the case. I personally met all the senior police officers also but they are not doing enough. We have decided to approach the Delhi High Court to transfer the case to either the Crime Branch of the Delhi Police or the Central Bureau of Investigation," he said.
