Hiren Mansukh, 45, was found dead on the banks of a creek along the Mumbra-Reti Bunder road in neighboring Thane on Friday morning, the police had said.
The formal orders to hand over the probe into the death of the man to the ATS were issued on Saturday late night.
Investigators were unable to find his mobile phone. The postmortem report was inconclusive and the viscera samples were sent to the state forensic lab for further tests. Sources said there were some observations in the report, including the nature of some injuries, that gave rise to suspicion of foul play.

The ATS registered a case of murder, causing disappearance of evidence of offence or giving false information to screen offender, acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention and criminal conspiracy.
