Case cracked, says NIA: ‘Vaze did it for lost glory’

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai Police officer Sachin Vaze was behind the bomb scare outside billionaire industrialist Mukesh Ambani’s house, which he orchestrated as part of a conspiracy to restore his reputation as a successful cop, senior officers in the National Investigation Agency told HT on Tuesday, contending that the mystery around the explosive-laden vehicle has been solved. Vaze, a former head of the Crime Intelligence Unit of the Mumbai Crime Branch, was initially the lead investigator after a Scorpio car carrying 20 loose gelatin sticks was found near Ambani’s Antilia on Carmichael Road on February 25. In CIU, he was made the investigating officer of the Scorpio case and during the four days he handled the probe, Vaze tried to cover the loose ends he left on February 25, including destruction of some CCTV footage,” a third officer said, asking not to be named. The team recovered the Digital Video Recorder of CCTV camera footage from a Thane housing complex where Vaze lives, which was obtained by Mumbai Police following a letter from Vaze’s unit.
