Antilia bomb scare case: NIA files charge sheet against Waze, others

Mumbai: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday filed a charge sheet against dismissed police officer Sachin Waze and other accused in the Antilia bomb scare-Mansukh Hiran murder case.

The central probe agency filed the charge sheet before a court here.

Besides Waze, former ‘encounter specialist’ Pradeep Sharma and a few other former police personnel are also accused in the case.

The agency filed the charge sheet two days before the end of the 30-day extension granted to it by the court last month to complete the process, a defence lawyer said.

The case relates to the recovery of an explosives-laden SUV near the south Mumbai residence of industrialist Mukesh Ambani on February 25 this year.

Thane-based businessman Mansukh Hiran, who had claimed that he was in possession of the SUV, was found dead in a creek in Thane on March 5.
