The senior inspector of Kherwadi police station, where a cop sustained fatal burns following a blast, said on Wednesday that his junior never approached him for a transfer out of the storeroom. Earlier, the family of assistant sub-inspector Arvind Khot had claimed that he was overwhelmed with storeroom work and wanted a transfer. 

Senior PI Rajendra Mulik told mid-day, “I joined this police station only six months back and I never got any complaint from ASI Khot. He was an active person and like our family. He was required to keep safe all the materials seized by the police which was not high-pressure work. We never got any complaints from him or his family. We understand that the family is in trauma but we are doing an in-depth investigation.”
