The National Investigation Agency (NIA) took into custody a woman named Meena George in connection with suspended officer Sachin Vaze in the Mansukh Hiren murder probe and the Antilia bomb scare case. 

Meena George reportedly kept track of Sachin Vaze's accounts and was potted at luxury hotel Trident with Vaze. She was taken into custody by the NIA from Mumbai airport on Thursday following which her residence was raided by the investigating team.

Meena George was absconding for the past few days following which she was taken into NIA custody and was interrogated by a separate team after being brought to the NIA office. 

As per sources, NIA interrogated the owner of the apartment in Mira Road that was rented out to Meena George while raids were carried out at the premises to gather evidence. 

The mystery woman in question - now identified as Meena George, as per sources - was spotted along with Sachin Vaze in the CCTV footage of 5-star hotel Trident with a cash counting machine. A total of 5 bags were checked in at hotel Trident on February 16. According to the CCTV footage examined by the probe agencies, Sachin Vaze had entered the hotel first and then the lady followed. Thus the mystery woman had stayed in the hotel for 2-days. A Scorpio car packed with explosives was found outside the house of industrialist Mukesh Ambani. However, after the arrest of suspended officer Sachin Vaze in this case, the NIA is getting a lot of evidence.
