NIA Court Rejects Sachin Waze's Discharge Plea in Antilia Bomb Scare Case
A special NIA court in Mumbai rejected suspended police officer Sachin Waze's discharge plea in the 2021 Antilia bomb scare and Mansukh Hiran murder cases, citing sufficient material to proceed with trial. The court noted Waze's extensive plea lacked merit and emphasized that at this stage, only a prima facie case is required. The cases involve three linked FIRs concerning a stolen vehicle found near Mukesh Ambani's residence and Hiran's subsequent death, with the investigation transferred to the NIA.
