Bombay HC Questions Sachin Waze's Role in Antilia Case and Lavish Lifestyle

Analysed 8 Oct 2026·12 sources analysed·Mumbai, India·Crime
Bombay HC Questions Sachin Waze's Role in Antilia Case and Lavish LifestylePreviousNext

The Bombay High Court is hearing the National Investigation Agency's appeal against bail granted to former assistant police inspector Sachin Waze in the 2021 Antilia bomb scare and Mansukh Hiran murder case. The NIA alleges Waze orchestrated the bomb scare to enhance his reputation and killed Hiran to prevent exposure. The court questioned evidence linking Waze to the planted SUV and raised concerns over his ownership of multiple luxury cars and extended stay at a five-star hotel, questioning how these align with his official salary. Bail remains stayed, and Waze is in custody.
