Preeti Jain has been admitted to hospital with chest pain.
Preeti Jain has allegedly given a 'supari' to kill Bhandarkar, whom she had earlier accused of rape.
Jain allegedly paid Rs 70,000 as part payment to one of Gawli's aide in last 2 months.
The officer said Haseena has accepted to have been in contact over phone with only two of the Kaskar siblings -- Mushtaqim and Humayun -- the only ones not wanted by the Mumbai police.
The journalist had come to interview the newly elected legislator from Chinchpokli in Mumbai.
Preeti said she had gone to meet Gawli only to persuade him to take up her case against Bhandarkar in the state assembly as he was an independent legislator.
It may be recalled that Bhandarkar had been provided a security cover in wake of the alleged murder plot hatched by Jain, with the help of a former aide of gangster-turned-politican Arun Gawli.
Police said they are yet to come across an evidence suggesting involvement of filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar to fix up Bollywood starlet Preeti Jain in the murder conspiracy allegedly hatched by her with Pardesi to eliminate Bhandarkar.
