Bomb scare outside Ambani residence: Controversial cop Sachin Vaze removed





Controversial cop Sachin Vaze has been removed from the Crime Branch unit by Maharashtra government following allegations against him relation with the Antilia bomb scare case which concerned Reliance chairman Mukesh Ambani’s safety. 

Former Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis had demanded Vaze’s arrest and had produced CD-R call records over businessman Mansukh Hiren’s alleged murder. 

Hiren was the owner of the Scorpio car that was found laden with explosives outside Reliance Industries Limited Chairman Mukesh Ambani’s residence Antilia.

Fadnavis had demanded Sachin Vaze’s arrest under Section 201 (Destruction of Evidence) of the IPC. The BJP leader had claimed that Hiren had been murdered following which his body had been dumped into the Kalwa creek. Further, Fadnavis also pointed out that Hiren’s wife, in her statement to the police, had said that her husband’s car was allegedly in Vaze’s possession since November 2020. 

Fadnavis went on to claim that Vaze had forced Hiren to allegedly write a letter to the Maharashtra CM, Home Minister and Police Commissioner. To support his argument, Fadnavis had presented Sachin Vaze’s CD-R records in the Vidhan Sabha. 

On February 25, at around 3 PM, the Mumbai Police received information of a suspicious car parked outside the residence of Mukesh Ambani which was found to be loaded with explosive gelatin sticks. 

A primary investigation from the CCTV revealed that the car had been parked near the residence since 1 AM on the previous night. 

On March 5, Mansukh Hiren, the owner of the car in question, was found dead at the Kalwa creek. Police initially claimed that he committed suicide by jumping into the stream. However, Hiren’s wife Vimla alleged that her husband had left the house on the night of March 4 to meet an officer from the Kandivali crime branch, and did not return home. Vimla Hiren said her husband could have never thought about taking his own life and called for a thorough investigation into the matter. 

Amid various other threads coming to light and both cases – Antilia bomb case and Mansukh Hiren’s death – being raised in the Maharashtra assembly, the NIA has now taken over the former, whereas the Maharashtra ATS is investigating the latter.
