Adding that Mumbai Police's reputation is at stake Maria expressed confidence that he would not let this case become another Aarushi.
Mumbai top cop also said that it was first time that Mumbai Police is taking help of the Digital facial imposition which helps in reconstructing the face of the victim.
While stressing on the importance of DNA in the case, Maria also said that Cyber team's role is crucial given the extensive use of computers, skype and phone in the crime.
My team is working ceaselessly to solve the case. Some of my officers have not gone home since the day the driver was arrested, Maria added.
On being asked how interrogating Indrani was different from Kasab, Maria said unlike Kasab, Indrani is educated, so patience was needed to interrogate her thoroughly.
Maria also said that since the case is three and half years old, it is diffcult to gather evidences.
