Khetan Anand, brother in police custody

MUMBAI, APRIL 5. Ketan and Vivek, sons of late film producer Chetan Anand, charged with conspiracy to kill former actress Priya Rajvansh, were today remanded to police custody along with two others until April 10 by a local court which turned down the bail plea of the two brothers.

Priya's maid Mala Choudhary and Ashok Chinnappa Swamy, charged with executing the murder, were also remanded to police custody by the Metropolitan Magistrate, Mr. P. P. Shiroshe, who felt that custodial interrogation of the accused was needed.

Priya, who shared a close relationship with Chetan Anand and stayed with him for several years until the latter's death in 1997, was found dead in the producer's bungalow at Juhu.

Police alleged that the murder was the result of a dispute over the Juhu bungalow of late Chetan Anand in which Priya, Ketan and Vivek had equal shares.
