City crime branch officials, investigating Amit Jethava murder case, visited Kodinar municipality offices, some parts of Una and Diu on Saturday. According to officials, they found some evidences in the case but needed to verify the facts before making any information public.

According to crime branch sleuths, they have taken Bahadursinh Wadher along for verifying the facts. The arrested cop took them to some of the places where conspiracy was hatched and transfer of money and information took place. Senior officials, however, maintained that paperwork was going on and investigations were on the track.

"We have so far arrested three persons in the case, including Wadher, vehicle thief Haji and middleman Pachan Shiva. Shiva has given us inputs on where and how the entire conspiracy took a definite shape around the middle of June. The most important task at hand is to track down Shailesh Pandya, the shooter, and get the identity of the second assailant who was riding pillion on the bike, when the firing took place on July 20 evening," said a senior crime branch official.

Officials have so far visited Bagodara and Kodinar and found evidence against Wadher and Pachan, along with their mobile call records. A team of officials have started deciphering the mobile phone conversations between various parties to know the faces behind the curtains. "Though the main line of investigation is land mining near Gir and Jethava's protest against it, we would not be surprised if there were other elements in it as well," said an investigator.
