NEW DELHI, Oct 27 - Former top cop of Mumbai police Rakesh Maria, now Maharashtra�s Director General (Home Guards), and two other senior officials of the force have been questioned by the CBI in connection with the Sheena Bora murder case, in which the agency is about to wrap up its investigation.

CBI officials said here today that the three officers were �examined� as they were part of the initial probe team which investigated the case and arrested Indrani Mukerjea.

Besides Maria, who was then the Police Commissioner, the CBI also questioned Deven Bharti, Joint Commissioner (Law and Order) and SN Choudhary, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone-X).

The spotlight had fallen on Maria and his crack team after the CBI arrested media baron Peter Mukerjea last year. There were allegations that Maria had not probed the property angle in the case and not quizzed Mukerjea.

Maria was alleged to have taken �unusual interest� in the case and frequently visited the Khar police station for questioning the accused, including Indrani Mukerjea. � PTI
