However, Mahesh Bhatt said that the family of Memon smelt an 'enemy' within the police force."The enemy within the force are out to liquidate Majeed", the family feels, he said."I told the Chief Minister if educated people have to live with such fear, the state should give assurance for their safety and convince them that their fear is baseless," Bhatt said.
