Pednekar's name had cropped up during the interrogation of an accused in the case, which is being probed by Dadar police after it was registered in June.

The Shiv Sena leader further said that she would be meeting Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and state Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis soon.

According to the police, while a case has been registered, Pednekar's name has not been included in the FIR as yet.

Three accused have been arrested in connection with the case since June, they said.
