NIA Alleges Sachin Waze Planted Explosives Near Ambani Residence, Killed Friend
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) told the Bombay High Court that dismissed police officer Sachin Waze planted an explosives-laden SUV outside industrialist Mukesh Ambani's residence in 2021 to salvage his reputation and portray himself as a "super cop" by leading the investigation. The NIA also alleged that Waze killed his businessman friend Mansukh Hiran, who possessed the vehicle, fearing exposure of his conspiracy. The court extended the interim stay on Waze's bail while hearing the NIA's appeal against the bail order.
